CHAPTER

The Intersection of Religion and Loneliness

This chapter examines the decline in religious involvement in the U.S. and its correlation with rising loneliness and mental health issues, particularly among young adults.

The dialogue emphasizes the need for inclusive community support and the importance of addressing underlying mental health issues separate from religious affiliation.
