I've often wondered...
A while back I'd read that being battered or stalked could cause significant brain alterations.
Doesn't it stand to reason that the fearful, manipulative, ceaseless "religious control" of individuals can alter their brain?
In some cases making them incapable of looking at facts normally, seeing thru glasses tinted with "satan"?

 Shoot, NOW I wonder about humans who have had toxic people (particularly caretakers/parents) in their lives... Is there then something physical in their brains to make them less trusting, *maybe* less gullible?

Just some thoughts...

There is no doubt that the behavior of all fundamentalistic religious "true believers" is different from the normal and that indicates that something is impeding rational judgment. It is definitely abnormal and irrational behavior.
