  • It can also foster a sense of connectedness, boosting self-esteem and overall well-being, though there are potential risks like discrimination and social isolation for minority groups.

This 2019 paper studied the impact of religious education and the positive contribution it has on adolescent mental health which in turn develops a person's morality and sound judgment. People of faith are typically more mentally resilient and confident. https://t.co/VBpBisVH9z https://t.co/vMIpipvJ8D

@JimWalshLD19 Also, stop promoting Catholic schools for children as it's clear that the religious manipulation that is done causes worse mental health outcomes than public schools. https://t.co/U1vwezToml

@subhumansupreme @BraumDan1el @SoundBoardGuy @mrdogejr1 @GutsV99 @GBT_Posting Yes, that's the point, old beliefs like Christianity and Islam breed violent people, Yes they do good, but the bad outweighs the good: https://t.co/vO6BLC9fQy https://t.co/4jtsQOgrpI https://t.co/Y37zRQrWD4
