Waarom is hier nu weer een nieuw topic voor nodig? Pure spam, vermits uit de posts in de draad "Waarom ik geloof" al blijkt dat over dit onderwerp absoluut geen wetenschappelijke consensus bestaat.

People who held a religious or spiritual understanding of life had a higher incidence of depression than those with a secular life view. However, this finding varied by country; in particular, people in the UK who had a spiritual understanding of life were the most vulnerable to the onset of major depression.

Citaat:
The authors conclude that holding a religious or spiritual life perspective, in contrast to a secular outlook, predisposes to the onset of major depression. These beliefs and practice do not act as a buffer to adverse life events as had previously been thought.
But the authors acknowledge the wide variety of contrasting findings from other researchers in the field, make it difficult to come to a definitive conclusion as yet. The most that can be said with any certainty, they contend, is that if there is a link between religion/spirituality and psychological well-being, it is most probably weak.
