Low Religious Engagement
Expressions activating this band show recognizable religious or spiritual reference, including affiliation with a religious group, attention to religious matters, or faith-related explanations for behavior.

High Religious Engagement

Faith is described as a dependable source of comfort, ethical direction, and resilience during difficult times.
Intense Religious Engagement
