The article is correct in saying that nobody has "the answers." Religion is not _the_ answer, it is _an_ answer.
You may feel as though the previous sentence is belittling your beliefs. However, saying the answer that works for you would work for everyone else is just as belittling to other's beliefs. It's an intractable stalemate that has only one logical conclusion - that no one can (or should!) assert their beliefs as being the only way to go. I wholly acknowledge that your beliefs are what work for you - but I do not recognize them as "the answers" the OP is talking about.
For something to be "the answer," singular, would require it to be the _psychological_ answer to stressors. The reason the article is so psychology-oriented is because "the" answer would by necessity have to be a psychological one, not a personal one. Something that works for one person (like establishing a relationship) but may not work for the next can never be "the answer" that a better psychological understanding of the problem would reach.
In spite of how much religion has done for you, it isn't an answer that works for everyone, and so is obviously not "the answers" OP is referring to. It's still your answer, but that doesn't mean it's the answer. Psychology is the only commonality between all human beings, so that's where "the answers" lie.
