To believe in God or as Rumi says (below) the Beloved we only need to be a human.

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up, from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next, did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul. I belong to the Beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being. Rumi

Now About Breathing,

Church, Synagogue, Monastery, Mosque, Ashram, Temple People Breathe Easier
Article Date: 02 Dec 2006

Going to Church, Temple, Synagogue, Mosque, Ashram, and Monastery might help you breathe easier. A new study by Temple University's Joanna Maselko, Sc.D., found that religious activity may protect and maintain pulmonary health in the elderly.

Rreligious activity is emerging as a potential health promoting factor, especially among the elderly. We wanted to determine whether there was a connection between the two," Maselko said.

"Religious Service Attendance and Decline in Pulmonary Function in a High-Functioning Elderly Cohort," published in the November 2006 issue of the Annals of Behavioral Medicine, was conducted while Maselko, assistant professor of public health, was at Harvard University.

Maselko and her colleagues believe that this is the first study to examine the relationship between religious engagement and lung function over time. Religious activity could benefit health in a number of ways. Overall, going to church provides social contact and emotional support, thereby reducing the isolation that afflicts many elderly and boosting psychological well-being.
