"No born believers" says new study.
Why do we believe in gods? Religious belief 'not linked to intuition or rational thinking'

Quote:The study challenges a growing trend that has attempted to show that believing in the supernatural is something that comes to us 'naturally' or intuitively

Summary:
Religious beliefs are not linked to intuition or rational thinking, according to a new study. Previous studies have suggested people who hold strong religious beliefs are more intuitive and less analytical, and when they think more analytically their religious beliefs decrease. But new research suggests that is not the case, and that people are not 'born believers'.
