Abstract

It is only in recent decades that interest in understanding the relationship between religion and health has reawakened in scientific and academic spheres. According to Wulff (cited by Duriez, Soenens, & Hustebaut, 2005), there are four different specific attitudes towards religion that people have. These four attitudes are Orthodox (Literal Affirmation), External Critique (Literal Disaffirmation), Relativism (Reductive Interpretation) and Second Naiveté (Restorative Interpretation) (Duriez et al, 2005). In this study, I examine whether the religious attitudes people have influence the types of health concerns they will pray about.
