Recent research found that damage to specific brain networks, primarily in the right hemisphere, is linked to higher levels of religious fundamentalism. These brain regions are involved in cognitive functions like reasoning, belief formation, and moral decision-making.

    Hence my saying it’s structural. I mean I suppose the brain damage could have happened in the womb because the mother was a substance abuser or something, but I think it’s more likely that certain structures in parts of the brain, which can either be natural or caused by brain damage, increase religious fundamentalism.
