The relationship between religion and suicide has long been studied by social scientists, especially sociologists. In the present article, by reviewing the theoretical and empirical literature in this field of study, at first, the mechanisms of relationship between the religion and suicide are explained and then the main hypothesis of the research was evaluated empirically with secondary data of Iran through an inter-country comparative analysis with the provincial analysis unit. The findings of this study showed that the main hypothesis in sociological theoretical views that "religion has a protective or reducing effect against suicide" in the context of the Muslim community in Iran is also fully confirmed empirically. More precisely, when the effects of three influential variables on suicide at the systemic level, namely socio-economic development; Family integration, and social disorder were controlled; the net effect of religion on suicide in the provinces of Iran was significantly reduced, indicating the fact that religion had a significant protective effect on suicide. This finding fully indicates the net and independent effect of religion on suicide in the provinces of Iran and is an empirical support for the thesis that religion can play the role of a shield or protector against suicide by promoting coping with the suffering of life and thus, reduce the risk of suicide.

Research data were collected using questionnaires: religion commitment, critical thinking and media literacy and were statistically analyzed through correlation method. The overall results of the study showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between religious commitment and critical thinking with media literacy. Findings showed that there is a stronger relationship between critical thinking and media literacy than the relationship between religious commitment and media literacy. The findings also showed that there is a positive but very small relationship between perfection(maturity) as one of the components of critical thinking and media literacy. Also, the relationship between the components of religious commitment and media literacy was close to each other and moderate, but the relationship between both components with the subscale of awareness of "the hidden goals of media literacy" was very small. Thus, paving the suitable way for strengthening religious commitment and teaching critical thinking skills can enhance the effectiveness of media literacy.

The present study is organized for the empirical test of religious market theory. In the main formulation of the religious market theory, the reduction of the Government Regulation of Religion in society fosters religious pluralism, religious pluralism creates competition, and competition between religious firms or institutions leads to the more and more efficient supply of religious products, and that as a result overall religiosity and religious vitality will increase in the whole society. This argument of the religious market theory was formulated as a hypothesis that the government regulation of religion is negatively related to religious commitment. To examine the empirical validity of this theory, the hypothesis was confronted with secondary data from 179 countries to assess the degree of conformity and correspondence of the religious market theory prediction with empirical evidence. Overall, the findings of this cross-national research could not provide significant and reliable support for the religious market theory in explaining the variance of religious commitment levels.

The knowledge storage primacy of the social sciences under the secularization paradigm suggested that religious pluralism undermines religious commitment. In contrast, the new paradigm of the religious economy or the market model of religion argued that religious pluralism leads to increased religious commitment. In the present paper, the mechanisms of the relationship between the two variables of religious pluralism and religious commitment are described from the perspective of the two paradigms secularization and the market of religion, and then, their conflicting hypothesis with secondary data of Iran are tested through an inter-country comparative analysis with the provincial analysis unit. The results showed that there was no relationship between religious pluralism and religious commitment in Iran.

In other words base on the regression analysis resaults most important factor for youth Tendency to hookah use is relationship with hookah users friends (0.391). Also weakness of practical adherence to religious norms (0.272) increase youth tendency to hookah use. Also decrease of leisure time and appropriate hobbies (0.308) will increase youth tendency to hookah use. The total explanation of the dependent variable is 0.461.

A multistage random cluster sampling method was applied. The data was collected through questionnaires developed by the researcher utilizing Kaviani's normalized questionnaire (2012). To determine the validity and the reliability, we utilized the face and construct validities with the help of factor analysis for the former, and the internal consistency with the method of Cronbach's alpha for the latter.

The present paper is an attempt to empirically study of a typology of religiosity formation trends. Since the objective of the study was to investigate the conceptual capabilities and possibility of measurement of the subject as well as evaluate the identification tools, and there was no intention of generalization of the results to a specific statistical population, quota sampling method was used. Out of eleven paths introduced in the reference article (Shojaeezand, 2012), only measurement of five paths was possible through surrvey and questionnaire and hence this study was limited to those five paths. The five paths were studied from four perspectives among the selected sample: “first encounter with religion”, “development of religiosity”, “becoming religious after a halt”, and “preferences”. The results indicate that in the first encounter with religion and development of religiosity, the “practical religiosity” and “logical-rational” patterns have the highest frequencies. On the level of becoming religious after a halt, however, the “logical-rational” and “glorious happening” patterns have the highest frequencies. On the level of preferences, the selective and practical patterns of religiosity have the highest frequencies. After studying the correlation between background variables and the path of becoming religious, thirteen significant relations were extracted, showing that the religious condition of the family has the strongest relationship with the way of becoming religious.
