anglophone comments on Jan 19, 2021:

I had thought that the answer to your question had been found some years ago. It is that the prefrontal cortex of believers' brains was significantly less neurologially active than the brains of sceptics, and that more recent research had come to the same conclusion. It would seem reasonable from this to call all religious zealots "dumbfucks" (which I often do).
