Abstract Religion/spirituality (R/S) is positively associated with a variety of health outcomes, although how R/S relates to the likelihood or severity of impairment or disability is understudied. Given the broad salutary effects of R/S, we tested if nonreligious groups (specifically atheists) were more likely to report impairment or were more likely to report greater disability. Using Canadian data (N ≥ 1,000) from the 2015 General Social Survey (Cycle 29), we compared atheists to Agnostics, Nones, Protestants, Catholics, Christian Orthodox, and Eastern Religion practitioners. The results indicated that Atheists were slightly more likely to report the presence of impairment and disability relative to Catholics, but these effects were in the trivial-to-small range. When exploring the severity of self-reported disability across religious groups, atheists did not differ from any other religious group. These results are intriguing as the broader R/S-health literature has suggested that greater secularism should be associated with a health penalty; however, we found limited evidence to support this. Although we cannot state that atheism is necessarily healthy, the results of the current study would suggest that atheism is certainly not unhealthy.

Abstract In July 2021 Heidi Crowter took the UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to court with the aim of challenging the aspects of the Abortion Act that in her view discriminate against people with Down's Syndrome. The case ignited the civic debate on disability, law and public ethics, re-exposing the shaky grounds and inherent contradictions of human rights discourse and legislation and revealing the acute dangers of utilitarian logic that sustains the status quo. In this paper I argue that if we are to safeguard the dignity and rights of those among us who might not satisfy the utilitarian criteria of “worthiness of existence”, the values that underlie human rights legislation need to be firmly situated in the realm of the absolute and the unconditional. This is an area where religious ethics can offer invaluable contribution. The transcendental grounding of faith-based morality endows the notion of human dignity with universality that is not conditional on any “worldly” category of worth (the concept of “ability” being one such category). Also, it provides a radical and counter-cultural redefinition of the notion of what it means to be a “contributor” to the social sphere, a redefinition that does not exclude those among us living with a disability.
