Atheism Uses Less Brain Function

[Gord_in_Toronto]

I took a look at the original study. There were grand total of 38 participants.

'Nuff said.

Makes perfect sense actually, We don't engage in the constant mental gymnastics the believers do, less brain stress.

That was my very first thought when I read the OP.

Article bby one Dr. Joel McDurmon, Ph.D. Ph.D. in theology, who would have thunk.

Her is his doctoral thesis from 2012. http://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/28381

Yup, he actually wants to restore Mosaic laws snd penalties as civil law. He really is that nutty.

Ah, Christian Reconstructionism, the nutty fringe that even the usual evangelical xian loons try to ignore because it says openly what they want.

McDurmon works for American Vision the people who want seek "the execution of abortionists and parents who hire them", plus homosexuals, non-xians, the wrong sort of xians (idolators) et cetera. He personally has described the murder of homosexuals as "perfectly normal".

What's your opinion?

That no rational person believes the crap spouted by xian dominionists who advocate the replacement of the US government by a theocracy and the murder of homosexuals and others because their big book of fairy tales says so.

Seriously, this is like quoting Stormfront's opinions on interracial marriage.

Apparently, his predecessor in American Lack Of Vision was even more extreme.

I'm having a hard time believing they could measure said reductions in god beliefs and prejudices with some simple evaluation tools.

And how do you come up with a % change?

Something about this report screams bad methodology is almost a given.

Good. It frees up space for science and ****.

Ha. I was about to suggest that it is true because skeptics do not use the "superstitious nonsense" centre of the brain.
