Teleios recently conducted a survey which received 1186 responses [female (68%), less than 30 years (76%), from USA (40%) and Europe (16%), evangelical Christians (33%), social Christians (29%), Christian seekers (5%) and non-Christians (33%)]. Personal wellbeing was better among evangelical Christians (4.6, on a scale of 0-6 with 6 being highest) compared to social Christians (4.1), Christian seekers (4.0) or non-Christians (4.3, P=0.001). The findings for wellbeing were also supported by further results that evangelicals were more content (P=0.001), at peace (P>0.001), and joyful (P=0.002) than the other groups. Additionally, evangelicals were more confident of their salvation and aware it is a gift by faith in Christ alone. This is the first survey, to our knowledge, evaluating wellbeing in young Christians versus non-Christians. IN SUMMARY, Christianity helps wellbeing by giving greater confidence in day-to-day living and in one’s salvation and hope for eternal life.
