"So much of the research examines religious attendance but after confirming that church attendance was associated with our outcomes, we found that accountability to God helps explain a lot more of what is going on in that connection between religion and well-being." Dr. Blake Kent highlights the distinction of focusing on accountability to God over mere religious attendance, emphasizing its essential role in enhancing psychological health.
"Happiness varies daily compared to other outcomes and can be correlated with psychological as well as social factors that change almost daily as compared to accountability to God." This observation points to the importance of stable belief in a higher power versus fluctuating social factors for consistent psychological well-being.
"Our religious systems can set external pressure on us to behave certainly. However, they also serve through our yearnings, moral beliefs, and religious motivation." Dr. Byron Johnson discusses the complex role of religion, suggesting that while it may impose pressures, it also nurtures our inner moral compass.
