Pew Forum Report on Religion, Civic Engagement and Well-being

Earlier today the Pew Forum released a new report titled "Religion's Relationship to Happiness, Civic Engagement and Health Around the World."  Full report in pdf here.

The report does not really report much that is new, but it does provide a nice summary of some well-known statistical patterns across a range of over twenty countries, the U.S.A. included.  For example, people that attend church tend to report higher levels of happiness and tend to be more involved in civic activities than others.

The report classifies people into three categories:  actively religious, inactively religious, and religiously unaffiliated.  It is those in the first category that report higher levels of happiness and civic engagement.  Measures of health show fewer differences.  The actively religious report being in very good health at higher rates and are less likely to smoke or drink, but they do not exercise more.
