  1. In the #Religiosity and #Thinking session, I'm sharing different aspects of the new #data I presented Wednesday (at #AtheismExplained, see top post in thread):

    In addition to the aforementioned findings, we found that #spirituality correlated with #reflection test performance LESS reliably than #religiosity (and #apostasy) did: nerdculture.de/@ByrdNick/11268

    On Wednesday, I posted 2 of the other 3 talks in today's session (Omid's and Nori's). So below I'll post only about the new one by Meara Geraty.

  2. As #AtheismExplained ends, let's review common findings:

    Predictors of religious belief and/or practice:
    - Having religious parents
    - Bring in a religious #community
    - Social #conservatism, right-leaning #politics
    - Unreflective thinking

    Predictors (and causes?) of #atheism, #apostasy:
    - Reflective thinking
    - Financial security
    - Exposure to #diversity of people, ideas

    Thx to Claire Berlyn and Allen [Surname?] for organizing!
