I eat a lots of yogurt Are We Born to Be Religious?
Genes and personality influence our attitudes toward religion "...By studying the correlations among thousands of individuals’
religious beliefs and measures of their thoughts and behaviors,
scientists have discovered that certain personality types are
predisposed to land on different spots of the religiosity spectrum.
Genetic factors account for more than half of the variability among
people on the core dimensions of their character, which implies that a
person’s feelings regarding religion also contain a genetic component.
By analyzing twins, some of whom share the same DNA, psychologists have
begun to collect evidence for the genetic roots of religiosity. These
studies are starting to explain what makes some of us believers, whereas
others end up rejecting supernatural notions.
Bringing Up Believers
The search for a biological basis for religion has gained wide appeal
as the tools to probe our internal makeup have improved. Numerous
brain-scanning experiments have sought to pinpoint one or another brain
region as being important to the religious experience, prompting
occasional claims that humans are equipped with a “God module,” a part
of the brain that causes us to have religious beliefs. In 2004 a much
hyped book called The God Gene proposed that a particular gene,
VMAT2, was linked with religiosity. The data supporting that claim,
however, were never published in a peer-reviewed journal, and other
scientists never replicated the purported results.
Discerning how genes lead to behavior is one of biology’s toughest
tasks. Genes make proteins, and figuring out how those proteins give
rise to behaviors, let alone beliefs, pushes at the edges of our
scientific knowledge. What is clear is that genes are not a blueprint;
instead they interact with environmental influences in many complex
ways, twisting fate at every turn. One way to examine the question is to
look at personality characteristics: genes predispose a person to
particular traits, which can manifest as certain behaviors...." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=are-we-born-to-be-religious&WT.mc_id=SA_CAT_EVO_20120507
