Do people turn more to religion as they get old?

Religion: In my experience, religion is one thing that people seek to give meaning to their life. As a person ages, many will turn to religion as a way of adding a meaningful component. Religion also provides a built in social system.

Common: As people age, they get to starting to thing abut the reality of their leaving this life. A part of all religions is to address what happens next, usually in a comforting although sometimes threatening manner. Older folks facing this frequently gravitate to their religion to find satisfaction with the inevitable passing.
