Abstract

The positive effect of religion, whether organized, non-organized or subjective, on the health and life satisfaction of Black Americans is validated using a parsimonious theoretical model. Religiosity is also found to vary among blacks depending on their marital status, educational attainment, income, region, urbanicity, and more particularly, age and gender. Collectively and individually, therefore, religion plays an important part in the life course of Black Americans.
