The role religion plays in one’s life has an array of effects on the ways that one processes the basic conflicts of life. In this study, past psychological studies which measured death anxiety in relation to religiosity are examined, in order to determine possible differences between religious and non-religious persons, in the ways they encounter and deal with the problem of death, as well as to put forth new propositions for the future study of people without religion as a distinct, yet heterogeneous, group.
