Sure join a church, just like the one in the next article. Have a pastor give you a cure of bleach, or a OD cup of liquid colloidal silver. If this is the support you want in life, go for it.

People may FEEL like they are accepted in their church, but in reality they are not. There are very few churches that are fully accepting of gay and especially PLHIV. Karl Marx had it right- religion is the opium of the people. Christianity and Islam are a vile magical pox on society.

Did this “research group” (ie this biased group of fake scientists determined to validate their own belief systems using words borrowed loosely from rather nebulous social science) assess a fourth group as a control? What about comparing social and health outcomes for subjects who do not identify as religious or spiritual but who weekly sit down to dinner or drinks out with welcoming friends? Bet ya get the same results without resorting to hocus-pocus and imaginary sky-people.

Churches have changed by the activists who took up the cause a good way to check for inclusive churches is the website https://www.churchclarity.org/

Of course this is true and proven so by sociologists, but it does depend on the church community joined. I know because I recently discovered the American National Catholic Church...an advanced American Catholicism which does not discriminate against anyone, supports married, gay clergy, and same sex marriage. ANCC is the future and has become a home for me, restoring my faith, sanity and well being. Pastor is a Franciscan and a real Bishop, but not Rome approved though it is staunchly Catholic.

"Psychology of Religion and Spirituality." A "group" performed the "study." This is puerile and insulting, filled at it is with bias from start to finish. Did the people who performed the study ask participants why a magical being caused the pandemic to descend upon the world to begin with. Utter nonsense, and too late in the game for this kind of ridiculous pseudo-science.

The same could and would probably be said of PLHIV who practise mindfulness, or who have a useful support group, or of those who remain alone but are comfortable to be alone.
