520 |a This article discusses the questions whether religion in our culture promotes the belief that illness is deserved and whether religion might promote complacency or indifference to suffering. This discussion first raises Lemer's (1991) point that some beliefs about suffering-although culturally carried-may not originate with religion. Next, questions are raised about the empirical effects of religion on beliefs and behavior relating to illness and suffering. These effects vary-for example, with type of misfortune and with religious orientation. Religiously derived beliefs about illness and suffering may have stress-buffering effects. It is suggested that the effects discussed deserve closer investigation.
