| Resumo: | I investigate the effect of religious diversity on well-being using the World Values Survey data across 77 countries. Religious diversity is measured as fractionalisation or polarisation.

Another explanation is that religion creates bonding social capital as opposed to bridging social capital. Directions for further research are discussed. |
