Cells represent Pearson correlations (r) for two-tailed uncorrected tests; Higher scores represent higher values of each variable (e.g., greater belief in God, greater frequency of public/private religious activity, higher levels of symptoms); Affiliation dummy coded as 1 = affiliated, 0 = unaffiliated; Correlation between private religious activity and MADRS scores was non-significant after correcting for multiple comparisons.
