RELIGION

"Give people a sense of meaning"

"Happiness is made up of pleasure, engagement, and meaning"

"the lion’s share of the data on this topic suggests that levels of happiness are greatest amongst religious folks"

"Meditation answers the question to the meaning of life: love, wisdom, and joy."(Find Your Meaning...)

"One study involved over 160,000 people in Europe. Among weekly churchgoets, 85% reported feeling "very satisfied" with life, but this number reduced to 77% for people who never went to church... religious involvement is associated with a modest increase in happiness" (Neilsen)
