Are "thinkers" less religiously faithful?

Asked by Charles (4823points) April 28th, 2012

This article seems to support “yes”.

“Scientists have revealed one of the reasons why some folks are less religious than others: They think more analytically, rather than going with their gut. And thinking analytically can cause religious belief to wane — for skeptics and true believers alike.

The study, published in Friday’s edition of the journal Science, indicates that belief may be a more malleable feature of the human psyche than those of strong faith may think.”
