According to a recent study from Germany, Muslims have a deeper sense of oneness than followers of other religions, which is the conviction that everything in the world is interconnected and interdependent.
Although the study didn't directly focus on religions in order to examine the relationship between oneness and life satisfaction, the findings showed that Muslims scored higher than those of other faiths in terms of oneness beliefs. Even after accounting for religious beliefs, the study still found a link between oneness beliefs and life pleasure.
There were two participant groups in the study. The first group was made up of 7,137 Germans who responded to a questionnaire regarding their own perspectives on oneness, including empathy, social connectedness, and nature. The second category, which included 67,562 Germans of diverse religious origins and atheists, was by far the largest.
The results revealed that Muslims had the greatest average value of oneness beliefs among all participants. The survey also found that women had a stronger tendency to believe in oneness than males.
The study's author, Edinger-Schons, observed that people who scored higher on the oneness scale expressed higher levels of life satisfaction. She also discovered that a higher level of life satisfaction is linked to additional advantages like better academic achievement in younger people and better health in older people.
