A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.

Does brain damage make you more likely to be religious? Or does being religious give you brain damage?

2019-09-21 19:55:02 UTC  

I say both

2019-09-21 19:55:18 UTC  

they are not correlated at all

2019-09-21 19:55:33 UTC

2019-09-21 19:55:48 UTC  

They need "devout" believers in their ranks

2019-09-21 19:56:03 UTC
