A recent Gallup report suggests a statistically significant
relationship between religiosity (measured in part by frequency of
church/synagogue/mosque attendance) and the well-being of an individual. The
same results were yielded even after controlling for various demographic
factors, such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status. Gallup’s Well-Being
index is composed of six groups, among them the Emotional Health Index and Work
Environment Index. In 5 out of 6 of these indices, religious individuals
scored higher than nonreligious individuals, while the Physical Health Index was
the only sub-group in which nonreligious individuals outperformed their
religious counterparts.
