Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

I congratulate the author/authors on the choice of the research problem of their study. The topic of the relationship of religiosity to physical, mental, moral and spiritual health is constantly topical and still requires new thoughts in the current cultural context. The novelty of this article is the presentation of specific results of quantitative research on a sample of 1,456 people - mainly young people in the region of southeastern Poland (Podkarpacie and Malopolska) and western Ukraine (Lviv region). The results of the study are not representative of the entire population of the selected region. Rather, they are illustrative of the phenomenon of the relationship between the two realities indicated above (religious faith - health) based on the statements of a rather large group of respondents. This should be made clear in the description of the method used. It is worth appreciating the multidisciplinary nature of this study. Elements of theology and philosophy of man are combined here in one research paradigm with elements of sociology, social psychology and pedagogy. In my opinion, the manuscript needs a significant structural adjustment: after the introduction and the research problem (5 research questions), there should be a description of the method and materials, followed by the results of own research, discussion and conclusions. Such an order of the manuscript seems clear and logical. Unintelligible is the current order in the manuscript first the presentation of research results and after them the presentation of the method. In addition, it is unnecessary in the development of the size of the article to present the research tool in the appendix (survey questionnaire). After this correction, the article will meet the requirements of the journal and can be published in “Religions”.
