Are conservative teenagers happier than their liberal peers?

The Daily Article · May 16, 2023 · 7m

In the midst of an ongoing mental health crisis that is especially affecting children and youth, I found this headline interesting: “Conservative teenagers are generally happier than their liberal peers, study finds.” And conservative teens “are more likely to be religious.”

Reading such reports is obviously encouraging for those of us who are religious enough to get up early to write and read articles like this one. It’s also tempting to feel sorry for “non-religious individuals” who are missing the boat.

But far more is at stake than personal happiness.
