Are You a Religious Jew?

i'm a religious jew, and i think the claim that you'd be happier if you weren't religious is not at all borne out by the data. People who practise a religion score way higher on measures of meaning fulness and purposefulness of life, and also happiness,. So it's not born out by theData. A crystal worship is probably deeply superstitious, but what we have to get into here is both a philosophical and theological question. That would take us too far away from traditional inquiry called metaphysics. We're gong to get to the university as well. But let me just try to take a a contrarian approach to these issues of spirituality that you're talking about.
