In the past few months, I have found myself asking questions that I had long avoided: What is my church really?

Growing up, I remember feeling a sense of community and security within my church. But as my perspective changed and doubts emerged, I began to wonder if this was truly what I believed in.

Research shows that a rigid adherence to a religion is not the key to personal happiness for most people (Source: Pew Research Center). My own experiences echo this finding. I recall the sense of belonging and security I once felt within my church, but as I grew older and gained new perspectives, questions began to arise: Was this truly what I believed?

Many scientific studies have explored this topic. The research indicates that a rigid attachment to a religion is not the formula for personal happiness (Source: Pew Research Center). For instance, Anna, a woman I know, left her church and found new meaning in her faith. She reported feeling freer and happier than ever before.
