Bad Economy is Good for Church

Although the bad economy is something no one likes, their is a community that really benefits from it.  Due to the low economy, many people are left with the option of going to church simply because of the economic troubles leaving them in a state of frustration.  Ever since the Economy has been down, the church's attendance rates have consistently went up.  I would of never thought of the positive effect of the economy affecting  a church's attendance going up. It is simply just something that I would of never figured out until I read about it.  I figured that the first thing people would be thinking of was trying to make some money instead of spending time at the church.  However now that I think about it I can see how going to church would easily calm them down and providing them with hope and faith in maintaining a healthy lifestyle even with everything that is going on around them.
