Ukrainian female students who identified as secular reported significantly higher burnout than religious students, with a very large difference.
Scientific Claim
Secular female university students had higher burnout scores compared to religious students (t(2,788)=6.553, p<.001, Cohen's d=7.628) among Ukrainian female university students.
Original Statement

Mental health and well-being among Ukrainian female university students: The impact of war over 3 years
The study looked at how war affected female students' mental health but never asked or compared whether religious students felt less burned out than non-religious ones, so the claim isn't backed up.
