Hypothesis

Religious coping mechanisms do not detract from practical coping mechanisms.

Note

Even when controlled for complexity, religious coping mechanisms are marginally correlated with the presence of other coping mechanisms, indicating that religious and non-religious coping mechanisms are not antithetical.
