"A meta-analysis of 63 studies showed a significant negative association between intelligence and religiosity."

probably because there are posts about "studies" every day. they always seem to align with whichever side OP is on in the argument.
Fuck off

If you believe in puffy pink pillows, then you're going to look for puffy pink pillows in everything.
You understand that, right?

"Liberalism was associated with the gray matter volume of anterior cingulate cortex"
"Conservatism was associated with increased right amygdala size"
>Amygdala (part of the most primitive section of the brain called the "lizard brain") is associated with emotional responses. >Enlarged amygdala associated with autism and anxiety.
>Gray matter's function involves decision making, and self-control.

"Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases."

"To test potential biases induced by the continued exposure to unsubstantiated rumors on users’ content selection, we conclude our analysis measuring how users respond to 4,709 troll information—i.e. parodistic and sarcastic imitation of conspiracy theories. We find that 77.92% of likes and 80.86% of comments are from users usually interacting with conspiracy stories."

"Analytic Thinking Promotes Religious Disbelief"
>bumping your own thread a dozen times
Here's a sage for your efforts.
http://www.anth.uconn.edu/degree_programs/ecolevo/divineintuition.pdf
>participants who tended to think more reflectively were less likely to believe in a god
>>56802824
I give you a bump because of meta analysis being a stronger level of evidence than a single study OP, gold bless
No shit everybody knows that muslims are retards.
>>56802824
>religiosity
>devoutness
There's a difference.
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=9292100
"In this article, we argue that one organizing element of the many differences between liberals and conservatives is the nature of their physiological and psychological responses to features of the environment that are negative. Compared with liberals, conservatives tend to register greater physiological responses to such stimuli and also to devote more psychological resources to them."
>this study could of been conducted on /pol/ by just looking at the catalogue
>conservatives go ape shit over minor shit
>their decisions are more based on emotional responses rather than logic
>>56803206
>we related self-reported political attitudes to gray matter volume using structural MRI.
>self-reported
In other words those the tended to absorb and understand the expected social consequences of the modern world and respond accordingly.

Cool study bro

"greater liberalism was associated with stronger conflict-related anterior cingulate activity, suggesting greater neurocognitive sensitivity to cues for altering a habitual response pattern."

>"studies"
The Jews falsified all the data right? See >>56803558 and >>56803558
>>56802986
I don't know whether you're trying to discredit the study by saying that somehow the meta-analysis (and nearly all 63 studies) used faulty methods or that our our human-cetric minds see a human behind conception of the universe?
I'm presuming the former. See >>56803558 and >>56803558
>>56805544
You are a gentleman and a scholar.
>>56805900
How about reading the whole abstract before you post?
"it was also stronger for religious beliefs than religious behavior"
>>56806684
So they we're brainwashed by Jews right? See >>56803558 and >>56803558

So in order to appear smart and give off the feeling of being an intellectual, I have to say I'm pro gays, pro immigration, and pro everything the liberals say I should support? Mmmm
