Abstract
Analysis of religious activities and attitudes in a longitudinal panel of 272 community residents produced the following main findings: positive religious attitudes remained stable despite general declines in religious activities; there were several significant and substantial correlations between religion and happiness, feelings of usefulness, and adjustment; these correlations also tended to be stronger for older persons and tended to increase over time.
