20Y study finds little evidence religiosity leads to greater life satisfaction
I am a member of a religious group whose doctrine, practices, culture, etc. are very different from the doctrine, practices, and culture of other religious groups.  Some people who identify as religious are monotheists, others polytheists, others pantheists, and still others agnostics or even atheists.  (Yup, there is such a thing as Christian atheism.)<p>So I always find it strange when &#x27;religiosity&#x27; is used as a catch-all personality trait and everyone who identifies as religious is lumped together.<p>I haven&#x27;t been able to look at the specific six-question set used in the study to measure religiosity, but something tells me that with only six questions, we can ascertain the impact of a person&#x27;s particular religious beliefs and practices on their life in only the vaguest way.
