Let us start from this forum and see how many couples trust each other really. It will be great news if we find one couple.

Do you think these chemicals let someone trust blindly another person?
Or perhaps, after someone starts to trust to no limit a person, his brain, in turn, starts synthesizing those chemicals to protect his trust from fading with time.

Truth be said, I am an atheist, speaking science because I believe in my science only and let the world's science to others (Sorry, this a big topic but I liked you know that I can't believe/trust blindly what may be provided as being special discoveries on any media).
.
 Then you need to do better.  Both in your application of understanding science and communication.

I told you it is a big topic, if not a very big one.
And, based on my personal observations and logical analyses, I can understand your reaction.
In my life I didn't find big difference between the reaction of religious believers and scientific believers when they hear something they are not familiar to.

About 40 years ago, I found a novel solution (in data communications) and applied it in my short-range RF voice links in the 80's (since it is not known, I used it also as a scrambling method). Now, in all universities around the world, students still learn that the solution, I know and took advantage of it, cannot exist. Should I believe the world or myself. This just one example of many.

Anyway, I am sorry for not being a devoted believer of the World's Science as you are. I can't add an idea, scientific or else, to my set of knowledge just because some others, or the world, say it is good for me to know. I have to analyze it personally, based on the same criteria on which all previous accepted ideas were analyzed. Only then I decide to accept it, reject it or keep it on standby for a later study.

For instance, I believe in what Jesus says because I found him agreeing with me on whatever I discovered in my life. So even if the entire world may deny him someday, I can't do the same unless I will decide to deny myself first and whatever I discovered about my existence and its relation to the world.

Anyway, this is just me.
Answering: What is my point?
