Spirituality, Not Religion, Makes Kids Happy

"The link between spirituality and happiness is pretty well-established for teens and adults. More spirituality brings more happiness. Now a study has reached into the younger set, finding the same link in "tweens" and in kids in middle childhood."

  1. Interesting, but the problem with this article is that it gives no definition whatsoever of what they understand for "spirituality". It's clear that they don't equate it with "religious practice", which I think is fine, but then what is the meaning of "spirituality"? No definition is provided, and therefore the conclusion seems somewhat gratuitous.

  2. Moy and TGIA, what do you consider spirituality to be? Some atheists can be spiritual.
