SALT LAKE CITY -- The Pew Center for Religion and Public Life released a study Wednesday showing people who are “highly religious” are more likely to report being very happy with their lives.
The Center defines “highly religious” as a person who attends a religious service once a week and prays daily.
The “very happy” result is the most significant distinction in a massive study using in-depth surveys of 3,278 American adults selected randomly and representative of different faiths, regions and racial/ethnic groups.
