SamuelTheLamanite Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Costa Rica is one of the happiest countries on Earth. The life expectancy in Costa Rica is higher than the USA. Why are people in Costa Rica happier and living longer? The answer is Religious Freedom. Religion in Costa Rica is very important, but in the USA religion is declining. We in the US are living in dangerous times, the attacks on religious freedom have never been so intense before. We must protect and defend religion.

Besides, everybody knows that learning geography brings just as much happiness as does religious freedom. Link to comment

Costa Rica is proof that our happiness depends on religion. I learn something each day on this forum. I would have never of guessed the Costa Rica was one of the happiest places in the world. Do you have references on this? I would like to read up on it. I would be most interested in how the study was conducted, what instrument was used to collect and measure the data. How religion was identified as the key factor, and what the definition of "happy" was defined as. Please consider this a CFR. Edited February 14, 2018 by sunstoned Link to comment
Sky Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Costa Rica also happened to run on renewable energy for 300 days in 2017! That also might have something to do with a higher life expectancy. https://www.sciencealert.com/costa-rica-s-electricity-run-entirely-renewables-300-days-2017-power-green Link to comment
Calm Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) It was also having some money problems, big debt issue...no place is perfect (Calgary, Canada comes close but I had a few issues with its doctors) Looks like education level is quite high. Somehow I doubt the sole reason for its general state of happiness is religious freedom or the higher rate of belief. Edited February 14, 2018 by Calm Link to comment
