摘要
The impact of religiosity on human mental health has been much debated over the last few decades. A large number of empirical and theoretical studies have been conducted to understand the impact of religiosity and spirituality on people's quality of mental health. Though the vast majority of research indicates that religiosity makes a positive contribution to a person's mental health and can give meaning to life, both the positive and some negative effects of religiosity on mental health are discussed. The impact of religiosity on people's mental health seems to correspond to the quality of their religiosity.
