Mentions of God or religion - ZERO.

The study director, Harvard psychologist George Vaillant, did write books titled "Spiritual Evolution : A scientific defense of faith" and "Spiritual Evolution: How We Are Wired for Faith, Hope, and Love". Religion is often omitted because any mention of it completely turns off city slickers from the subject being discussed.

That is good to know. Sounds like interesting books.

Great digging, there, Reeses.

It seems inconceivable that a study begun in the 1930s would not include religion. Before 1970, it was a core aspect of American life.

Then the hammer (and sickle) fell. (No surprise that the symbol of communism so resembles the symbol for islam.)
