      Yeah, I understand the concern behind the post, but depending on who holds the data it can be of positive use, for example in identifying at risk populations.

      Studying a sample of 2,196 low-income African Americans, Felix Aaron et al. found that persons attending church at least monthly (regular attenders) were 20% to 80% more likely than less frequent attenders to have recently obtained a mammogram, had their blood pressure measured, or obtained a dental visit.
