Abstract
“Is Life Satisfaction/Happiness Different Across Religious Denomination Groups? A Cross National Study Exploring Some Key Determinants of Life Satisfaction/Happiness.” This study examines the relationship between life satisfaction/happiness and many factors among religious denominations using World Value Survey (1981-2014). Different religious groups were investigated: Muslim, Shia, Sunni, Hindu, Buddhist, Jew, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Evangelical, Other Christian, Other religious and Nonreligious groups. Protestants were happier and more satisfied with their lives than any other groups. Being Orthodox, living in Eastern Europe, being in low-income group, unemployed, and less educated were associated to less subjective well-being.
