Being ‘Born-Again’ Linked to More Brain Atrophy: Study

“According to the study, people who said they were a “born-again” Protestant or Catholic, or conversely, those who had no religious affiliation, had more hippocampal shrinkage (or “atrophy”) compared to people who identified themselves as Protestants, but not born-again.”

Perhaps this explains the high correlation between evangelical religious beliefs and conservative political preferences. The question should be, is it causal? And if so, which causes the other?

Be careful. "Evangelical religious belief" is not confined to the Christian religion. Or gods, for that matter. by TB 2012-05-25 07:15:58
