Research says religion both helps, hurts depression. Christ, what a bummer

Subject line shamelessly stolen from fark.com, it was just too good to pass up.

"Rigion cuts both ways when it comes to depression, according to two Utah Valley University researchers.
People who see themselves as active participants in their faith are less susceptible to depression. But for those who feel alienated from their religion, it makes them more likely to be clinically depressed..."

And "those who feel alienated from their religion" are whom?

The ones whose marriage isn't working for them?
The ones whose life isn't working for them?
The ones whose religion isn't working for them?
Who are they?

I was an active participant.
I believed.
Why was I depressed?

Living constantly inhibited and not being able to think for onesself would make anyone depressed.
