Possible Benefits of Religion
Univ. North Carolina article 
This recent research shows that religious 12th graders hold more positive views on life and have higher self-esteem, among other good things. While it is unclear whether well-adapted people seek out religion more often, or that religion fosters positive outlooks, this research suggests a relationship exists. I wonder if this kind of research provokes anybody to become more religious, and if so, are they doing it for the wrong reasons? Does the motive for initially adopting a religion matter when the person makes changes for the better because of it?
