Participants (N=868) included 304 Buddhists, 332 Christians, and 232 Muslims. The research had two components. Firstly, a thematic analysis of responses to the question “What does an ideal believer look like from the lens of your religion?” yielded ten themes across four domains—commitment to self, commitment to others, commitment to God/faith, and commitment to the world. Examples of themes were: one's adherence to teachings, moral practices/virtues, and a believer's influence/leadership. Themes emerged within each religious group and a comparison of themes across religious groups were discussed. Secondly, we conducted bivariate correlation analyses examining the relationship between themes and mental well-being (e.g., happiness, life satisfaction, anxiety, somatization). Findings suggested connections between perceptions of religious perfection and well-being, providing insights into the interplay between religious ideals and mental well-being.
