If your only sample for this are mid-western folks who are all of the same generation, then any single thing you derive from that is only applicable to that tiny group of octogenarians from Iowa.

If you're going to make a huge claim like "religion helps you live longer" you're going to need a better test for that claim.
There's more than one study an one sample. There's a fairly large body of research on the subject:

The trick seems to be having the option of religion, but not have society controlled by religion to the point that it stifles economic and scientific growth.
