Survey Finds Religious Americans Healthier, Happier ( Archived) (11)

Thoughts?

Though I'm not religious, I think it's probably accurate.

Monsanto does sell a 12" x 12" floor tile that tastes pretty good with tartar sauce.

I think they should have broadened that study, and substituted spiritual for religious. Not to say that a person devoid of any spirituality is not happy. Here in Sweden, 90 percent of Swedes are non-religious, and I can certainly say that religious Americans are no more happier than non-religious Swedes.

Maybe Aquavit has something to do with it!

Maybe it's something in the air from the chemtrails!!!!

From what I have observed, I don't think either country is happier---Sweden vs USA. I lived in both countries.

There are many different lists of the "happiest countries in the world", but I don't pay much attention to them to be honest since that is really hard to measure. I can only go by my own observations. I only said that religious Americans are not happier than non-religious Swedes---meaning neither is happier than the other.

I don't think spirituality and religion are two entirely different beliefs. Both require faith in something---although that something will vary from a Native person to a Christian to a person with self-spirituality. The main thing, is that there is purpose and meaning in both of them. So I tend to not see a huge distinction at the root, but certainly there are major differences. A religious person is spiritual, and a the religion of "no religion" is also spiritual---meaning those who are spiritual.
