An interesting study from Kansas State University, as reported at the Oregonian:

Christian employees who talk about their religious beliefs at work are happier on the job than those who keep quiet…

The reasoning may surprise you:

“For many people, religion is the core of their lives,” co-author Sooyeol Kim said in a press release from Kansas State University. “When you try to hide your identity, you have to pretend or you have to lie to others, which can be stressful and negatively impact how you build relationships with co-workers.”

Having to “live a lie” would negatively affect the mission. Where has that argument been used before?

It would seem that, based on this study, military readiness would improve with official policies encouraging and protecting religious expression. Who would have thought it?
