Ok, so we are assuming that people who are religious and remain so in adult life have a predisposition to being capable of fully absorbing their indoctrination without too much questioning.
Are we saying this is a type of psych profiling? I don't really think we'll find any patterns really between religious people and all the other categories, eg: intelligence, creativity, IQ, etc.

I believe indoctrination at a young age is 99% foolproof with anybody/everybody.
Isn't it genetic that we listen and be guided by our parents as part of our survival? (at a very young age, we see our parents as practically "gods" anyway)

What happens to people as clearer thinking adults can sometimes reverse this process.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
