"The data is clear: religion has a powerful impact on increasing a sense of meaning in life, helping to protect against loneliness and mental or emotional challenges, and increasing levels of flourishing. Thus, a key component of your efforts in developing a protection from loneliness and finding meaning in life, for yourself and others, is your commitment to living your faith and creating an environment of religious pluralism where others are encouraged to live theirs."
Wheatley Religion Initiative Director Paul Lambert gave a BYU forum address on the research-backed benefits of religious faith, inviting students to live their faith with conviction and encourage others to do the same.
