Happiness and Religion

Bruno Frey

Chapter Chapter 12 in Economics of Happiness, 2018, pp 59-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Modern happiness research makes it possible to empirically measure the impact of religion on subjective well-being. There is a positive correlation between religion and happiness, with a robust effect of churchgoing and Protestant confession, while the results regarding internal religiosity or faith are more ambiguous.
