Scientists have established a link between brain
damage and religious fundamentalism

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.
Religious beliefs can be thought of as socially
transmitted mental representations that consist of
supernatural events and entities assumed to be real.
Religious beliefs differ from empirical beliefs, which
are based on how the world appears to be and are
updated as new evidence accumulates or when new
theories with better predictive power emerge. On the
other hand, religious beliefs are not usually updated
in response to new evidence or scientific
explanations, and are therefore strongly associated
with conservatism. They are fixed and rigid, which
helps promote predictability and coherence to the
rules of society among individuals within the group.

Religious fundamentalism refers to an ideology that
emphasizes traditional religious texts and rituals
and discourages progressive thinking about religion
and social issues. Fundamentalist groups generally
oppose anything that questions or challenges their
beliefs or way of life. For this reason, they are often
aggressive towards anyone who does not share
their specific set of supernatural beliefs, and
towards science, as these things are seen as
existential threats to their entire worldview.
Since religious beliefs play a massive role in driving
and influencing human behavior throughout the
world, it is important to understand the
phenomenon of religious fundamentalism from a
psychological and neurological perspective.

Problems especially illnesses that cannot be cured by paramedics make people seek for solutions beyond the recommendation of physician experts.

It's understandable and normal. It's not a cognitive decline. We are not talking about a particular disease. But any illness that physicians are incapable of healing.

The article above is just a plot of the globalists agenda to discourage people from seeking and eventually/luckily finding the true solution. JESUS CHRIST the healer, the way, truth and life.

that is just silly

You have to admit that the fact that theists are known for killing other people because of their imaginary friend makes a counter argument difficult

...should go to the righhhht churches.
Church is headed by a Pastor, not all pastors have the Holyghost power in them. Some of them have pastorship as a means of generating livelihood and other reasons.

But I know a righhhht church. THE LORD'S CHOSEN CHARISMATIC REVIVAL MOVEMENT.
Healed hundreds of thousands since its anniversary.
