Is positive psychology a form of religion?
If u were “happy” all the time, then ur existance would be empty and bored, we need to face challenges, to go through situation that would tests our beliefs and our character, otherwise there would be no chance for us to gain wisdom and to appreciate what we have. We would take everything for granted if we wouldnt feel experience “need” of something. And positive psychology might be a methodology or an approach to life, but as long as it doesnt provide a set of beliefs to explain the origin of the universe and moral basis that dictates our behaviour, is not a religion. For more info, check the definition of religion in a dictionary.
