Decreasing Worry and Psychological Stress

A recent study also says that those who trust in a benevolent, loving God report "significant decreases in worry and psychological stress."

Interesting idea: If a person has been cruelly taught that God hates them and wants to punish them, choosing to believe that God doesn't exist might decrease their worry and psychological stress. However, it would not give them the help and comfort and peace that knowledge of a benevolent God would give.
