Description
Résumé:Do nonreligious individuals have the same mental health and well-being benefits as religious individuals? This research explores this question by examining 22 studies that use quantitative data to assess religiousness and nonreligiousness in association with well-being. We first provide a brief overview of the issues, concerns, and approaches common in this literature. We then examine each study for its findings in light of its recruitment methods, categorical or other identification of religiousness, and quantitative scales used to measure religiousness/nonreligiousness and well-being. Based on this review of the literature, we address the question of nonreligiousness in relation to mental health and well-being and make suggestions for further research to more carefully address the question we have posed.
