measured by the Peters Delusions Inventory with questions such as, “Do you ever feel as if people are reading your mind?”
The researchers then tested to see whether any of the three groups differed on the measures listed above. They found that both traditionally religious and nonreligious but spiritual individuals scored higher on measures of life satisfaction than nonreligious/non-spiritual individuals.
“The main conclusion was that there were relatively few differences between people who identified with non-religious spirituality and people who identified as traditionally religious,” say the researchers. “Participants from these two groups showed similar patterns on all the major variables of depression, delusional ideation, subjective well-being, and sense of meaning.
The authors hope their work reduces negative stereotypes and stigma surrounding non-traditional religious practices and affiliations. “Sometimes people can have negative stereotypes toward people who practice non-religious spirituality ,” says Zhang. “I hope the findings from this study can help reduce stereotypes toward religious minority members and help create a more accepting environment.”
