(Newser) – Religion is bound for extinction in nine nations where it's already in decline, according to researchers using mathematical models. The researchers applied the principle of "nonlinear dynamics" to census data from the countries—Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New...

Atheists Know the Most About Religion: Study

Average member of the faithful has big knowledge gap

(NEWSER) - The people who know the most about religion are the people who don’t have one. In a recent Pew survey, atheists and agnostics knew more, on average, about religion than followers of any of the major faiths, the LA Times reports. The faithful displayed startling gaps in knowledge—a majority of Protestants, for example, couldn’t identify Martin Luther as the man who kicked off the Protestant Reformation. More»

If You're Poor, You've Got Religion...

...Except in the rich US, where 65% say they're devout

(NEWSER) - The most devout countries in the world are “relatively poor”—except the United States. A new Gallup study shows that in “the world’s poorest countries,” a median of 95% say religion is important in their daily lives. In the richest countries, that number drops to 47%. (Gallup defines the poorest countries as those with average per-capita incomes of $2,000 or lower, while the richest average higher than $25,000.) The US is an exception: A rich country where about 65% say religion is important. More»

To Dodge Obamacare, Turn Amish (or Mennonite)

Measure based on tax laws aimed at Amish

(NEWSER) - Backers of health care reform on Capitol Hill want a plan that mandates insurance for all—but they appear willing to bend the rules for some religious Americans, Maura Reynolds of CQ Politics reports.

World Subways Evolving Into 'Master Form'

Are we driven unconsciously toward same organizational pattern?

(NEWSER) - In a weird convergence of form following function, the world's subway systems are marching toward a kind of "unified theory" of structure for the complex operations. The route patterns seem intuitively logical, but they have developed across different cultures, in different geographies and economies, and often piecemeal over decades. The "common mathematical space may hint at universal principles of human self-organization" which we're somehow driven to replicate, notes Wired . More»

Thinking, Religion Don't Mix: Study

Analytical thought tends to drown out faith, researcher finds

(NEWSER) - People prone to analytical thinking are less prone to religious faith, a new study has concluded. Scientists have long believed that analytical thinking can override one's intuitive responses, and studies have shown that religion is rooted in intuitive thought. So Canadian researcher Will Gervais set out to see if analytical thought could override religion, the LA Times reports. First he gave a group of students a test whose questions were designed to have an intuitive-but-wrong answer and a correct one requiring more thought to arrive at. More»
