Changed Inquiry Question

I recently changed my inquiry question from "Is religious faith necessary?" to "Is religious Faith necessary for a healthy mind?" The best source I found was a book called Religion and Healing In America by Barnes Sered. The book has many views and sub-authors, as well as many broad topics. So there is a lot to choose from. My inquiry question changed for the better. The topic was too broad and incorporated too many things. The challenge right now is to actually do the research. My advice to anyone is do research in the library it really does help. It puts you away from all distractions and  your brain goes on an adrenaline rush.

Religious Faith

     Is religious Faith necessary? Some people think so, as well as me. However some do not which is why there are atheist in the world. I settled on this question because I LOVE God and it is something that I could talk about forever. My entire family is Christian as well as many friends of mine. Faith is an ancient  idea, since the beginning of time people have had faith but some people have chosen not to. I want to research is if people have faith in something or anything is there certain things that they have or experience that people without faith  don't. Some people choose to say that putting faith into some Deity, whatever it is, is stupid and the only thing that controls our destiny is ourselves, or they believe that when people die they just die and they have no faith that there a spiritual afterlife. I am pretty set in my ways, hopefully in researching this topic it will reinforce what I already believe.
