I'm not a fundamentalist but this is too inflammatory. This is equivalent to saying that all the Star Wars devotees are brain damaged.

Just because a journal says it is so does not make it so.


There is a fundamental difference between a SW devotee and a fundamentalist.

And no, it’s not in any way inflammatory. Unless you’re living in Iran. Or southern US.


Isn't there another fMRI analysis which said it found a nexus of brain function which went to belief? (so, not a damage or absence story, but a structural form)
