**Null Hypotheses (H-not/H0) :-** Are religious people more happy, and does it contribute to a better experience of life? ----------------------AND in the same vein ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Is the increasing trend of Atheism directly related to increasing reported levels of ADHD, depression and suicide rates around the world? **The research :-** A slew of research suggests that religious people are happier, are better at keeping family ties, contribute to society more by being involved in the community, report better life experience and are better able to cope with life's setbacks like Divorce. Is this true? Below is a random list of research I found from googling :- (1) https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/more-mortal/201212/are-religious-people-happier-non-religious-people (2) https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/curious/201510/does-being-religious-make-us-happy (3) http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/02/office-for-national-statistics-well-being-data_n_9138076.html (4) https://www.unilad.co.uk/news/new-research-shows-religious-people-are-happier-than-atheists/ (5) https://www.christiantoday.com/article/why-religious-people-are-happier-and-how-to-share-the-joy/78581.htm (6) http://www.pewforum.org/2016/04/12/religion-in-everyday-life/ **What the Quran says :-** Having graduated from the London School of Economics (2004, Bsc Hons) and having been greatly influenced by Richard Dawkins, books like "The God Delusion" etc. for about 7 years and seeking extensively through the various religious/self development traditions including Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, The Landmark Forum and Tai Chi, I converted to Islam 4 years ago. I can personally attest to having a much greater experience of life and feeling peace and tranquility and calmness in my heart. In the Sufi tradition, the heart is the kernel of connecting to God (Allah), and the seat of God consciousness :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqNPVP6GerM&index=1&list=PLwFLXkJiBtuza1uSJHsB8MJCfQ9l7h8jf Allah says in the Quran :- "And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life,...." [Quran 20:124] And Allah also says in the Quran :- "Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." [Quran 13:28] Dataset :- The data set regarding population is the gross population by country taken from the World Bank Data Site, link here :- https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL?locations=US&view=chart Can you :- Look at populations around the world using the dataset, and look at suicide levels, depression levels, reported ADHD levels, and anxiety levels and find a correlation between the increasing trend of atheism in the world and these reported markers.
