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.

I think they also discovered a link between politicizing psychiatry and cases of micropenis.

That is actually more LOGICAL than one would think if you know anything about the PRE-FRONTAL cortex. 'EMPATHY' is located there. When traumatized, 'moral judgement' (dare I say punitive judgement kicks in) is altered even when LOGIC stays intact. The variables are individual but MOST of the born agains I know who came to religion, after the age of being 'raised in it', had some trauma, passive or self inflicted, in their past. Early family dysfunction, sexual assault, drugs or alcohol, are the BIGGIES.

The human genome is merely 3% unique, which means that 97% of the DNA we have is shared with other mammals and primates. Fetal development can be partial or not reach full growth before the timer to "seal" the baby's fate kicks in, which can be a reason why if your brain development is off within only a few microns in your prefrontal cortex when that timer kicks in then that is all that is needed to cause vast differences in behavior and function. A few small tweaks can change a specie.
Every advance in neuroscience is a hit to psychology. As neuroscience grows psychology shrinks.
Indeed....."SUGGESTS" is a very scientific term not to mention the fact that PSYCHOLOGY is not actually a discipline of Applied Science (as no one can actually read minds....they only subjectively make a conclusion based upon what the patient chooses to reveal.....mankind has never been known to deceive anyone.
Once again.....a leftist presents "pseudo philosophy" dressed up like science. But.....on the bright side you have been able to do what no one in history has ever accomplished finding the part of the brain that is responsible for FAITH. LMAO

"Scientists have established a link between religious fundamentalism and brain damage"
This explains a lot about those two poor things, Truth Rejector and Big Chihuahua.

Who'd a thunk it? The United States was created by people with BRAIN DAMAGE. Does that make everyone that spends US currency CRAZY? In God We Trust. Or the citizens of every US STATE whose constitution addresses GOD in its content and context....are all crazy? Lets count them.....55 states right.....no, my bad thats the number of left wing states as demonstrated by Obama.....ALL 50 STATE CONSTITUIONS REFERNECE GOD. https://www.truthorfiction.com/god-constitutions/
Darn....a nation of nuts.

Apparently our nation was created by "wing nuts".....all 50 states reference GOD in their constitutions. Our courts require an oath sworn before God in order to be under oath. Even our politicians are required to place a hand on the Holy Bible and swear an oath before God...even the democrats. And show me one person that does not endorse spending money with the oath "in God we Trust" engraved upon it?
And what does that make our Supreme Court? A group of nuts? When you walk up the steps to the building that houses our most Supreme Court....we find the lawgivers facing MOSES as he is holding the 10 commandments. And more clearly? When you open the twin doors to go in? You find a list of the 10 commandments of God.
What about the bible verses itched all over the buildings in DC?
James Madison was clearly a nutjob (the father of our constitution). "We have staked the whole of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, TO SUSTAIN OURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD." -- James Madison
Leave it up to snowflakes to revisit history actual and declare our founders.... WING NUTS.

Religion = "rigid thought" is a false equivalency. Religion is based on immutable principles,
but that doesn't equate to rigidity ( unable to see other patterns) -since religion is not subject to changing data
More dumb ass psychobabble
