The title pretty much says it all. People who have experienced some form of brain damage, tumor removal is the example they give, tend to become more spiritual.

Now, I've long been on the "God Gene" bandwagon, but I only whispered, among fellow Atheists mind you, that dysfunctional brain activity contributes to religious fervency. After this article, I may not whisper so quietly anymore. ninja

Thoughts?

Honestly, it makes sense. My dad became more religious after he got a brain cyst. (he's okay, though)

So...religious people are brain damaged?

I'll buy it.

It definitely explains why former drug abuses suddenly become religious when sober. wink

Well if I was a God I'd want a bunch of brain damaged people following me too. They make better minions. twisted
