I'd amend that and suggest some form of spirituality, not necessarily a formal religion. Making a point of examining yourself and your place in the world around you is generally just a good idea that offers a range of mental and social health benefits. A formal religion can help to codify that with suggestions about who you should be and how you should live, and practicing as part of a religious community gives you the opportunity to discuss such things with like-minded people to develop your beliefs further, but secular spirituality still yields many of those benefits and can be a lot more comfortable for people that are hesitant to align themselves with some of the less savoury aspects of organized religion.
