Teleios conducted a wellbeing survey with 1186 responses. The majority of responses were: female (68%), <30 years (76%), and primarily from the United States (40%) and Europe (16%). The respondents identified themselves as: evangelical Christians (33%), social Christians (29%), Christian seekers (5%) and non-Christians (33%). Interestingly, personal wellbeing was better among evangelical Christians compared to social Christians, Christian seekers or non-Christians (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. This is the first survey, to our knowledge, evaluating wellbeing in young Christians versus non-Christians. In summary, Christianity may help wellbeing by giving confidence in both day-to-day living and hope for eternity.

It certainly helps, but it still takes a concerted effort to stay positive while I wade through the sewer that man has made of this world.
