520 |a People who are low in socioeconomic status (SES) are more likely to be religious than their higher status counterparts; however, little research has tested the mechanisms for this relationship.

These results suggest that religious belief may play a psychologically protective role for low SES individuals, independent of realistic economic concerns.
