New Study Finds That Being ‘Godless’ May Be Good For Your Health

Several studies in recent decades found that being religious correlates with good health. Some have been led to conclude, according to those findings, that if religion is good for you, then being an atheist must be bad for your health. But according to a Professor of Psychology at the University of New Brunswick, David Speed, that theory is not entirely true. Speed published his research paper on January 5th, 2021, entitled: Godless in the Great White North: assessing the Health of Canadian Atheists using data from the 2011-2012 Canadian Community Health Survey. Some of the beneficial aspects of being part of a faith group or church — including behavioral rules and social support — aren’t exclusively religious. Religiously active people may have an advantage over atheists with their strength in social support networks. However, there are a growing number of atheist social media networks to communicate with other like-minded atheists who have similar views and life experiences. Speed offers an important note to consider: health and well-being advantages often linked to faith groups’ comes from the social support structure, not the spiritual beliefs touted.
