Americans have been turning away from organized religion for decades — but recent research suggests that trend might be stalling out. And studies do show that people affiliated with a religion tend to be happier and healthier. So should more people be joining up?

Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Shadi Hamid discuss the usefulness, or not, of religion.
