Well I guess I wasted five minutes of my life writing all that. But what I still don't understand is the video trying to prove? At the end, what is the use of each of hemisphere?

Nothing is wasted when something is learned. The video emphasizes that it is far more complicated than a simple left/right dichotomy. Wink

Regardless of demographics, I'd certainly say that logically thinking people are more likely to be atheist than those that value emotional reasoning. Religious arguments are illogical and rely heavily on emotional manipulation.

Well, let me save you the trouble - in almost all cases I've ever come across - including my family - whenever an atheist and a theist have a child, the child grows up to be an atheist, or agnostic. 

Religion needs to be consequently forced upon you and if one of the parents allows for dissent - any half-intelligent teenager will chose sleeping in on Sunday and guilt-free masturbation, over going to church and being f***ed by a priest...

I don't take much stock in this theory, because the claim of vast dominance in the brains of most people seems to be
exaggerated. Humans utilize both hemispheres of their brains; different parts at different times for different tasks. A particular affinity, interest or skill that relies on one portion at particular moments in time, doesn't mean that one 
hemisphere has overarching dominance.

Besides...it doesn't require Vulcan logic to know that magic ain't real.
