Does #religion/#spirituality actually predict #wellbeing?

Meara Geraty used data from 54 countries to find that in most countries, religion's/spirituality's relationship with well-being is fully mediated by (confounded with) #MeaningInLife, the more reliable predictor of well-being.

Those who know me from the Bird Site around or before five years ago know that what was central to my purpose in life vanished in an instant (largely self-inflicted, so no need for sympathy, as I have none for myself). In the interim, I've been apparently asking some good questions to regain some sense of purpose regarding what I am good at, what I enjoy, and how I leave a legacy. I haven't sought out answers from those closest to me. That's next.
