Poll finds that faith and happiness go hand in hand
Despite increased tensions on the world stage and a faltering U.S. economy, nine of 10 Americans are happy with their lives and say their religious faith has a lot to do with it, according to a Barna Research poll.
But George Barna, who directed the study and provided an analysis, pointed out that many of the happy respondents also are the most affluent and that happiness doesn't mean that religion is being practiced properly, especially a Christian faith that puts service to God before material comforts.
