I begin with a bit of self-disclosure. I don?t have a religious or spiritual bone in my body. (Yes, maybe even less than Richard Dawkins.) But this doesn?t mean that I?m not open-minded about research on happiness and religion. As I write in my book, The How of Happiness, just because (most) religious beliefs cannot be empirically tested or falsified doesn?t mean that the consequences of having religious faith, participating in religious life, or searching for the sacred cannot be studied. Indeed, a growing body of psychological science is suggesting that religious folks are happier, healthier, and recover better after traumas than nonreligious ones.
