Are introverts less likely to like organised religion?

I think they are, because I'm an introvert myself. I always liked to be alone or accompanied by just a few people. I always consumed alot of energy when interacting with many people or having smalltalk. I kind of disliked being in a crowded church since childhood.
I'm not saying introverts are more likely to be secular, I'm talking strictly about organised religion, about going to a place of worship.

Religion is a nightmare covered with provocations, threat and empty magical promises. As of now I wish to focus on work and suggest you do the same.

You can theory craft, or research statistics, or read a book about this issue.
Why make up what you want about introverts just conjecturing though?

Nope. Lots find comfort hiding in big religion. They get to hide in the crowd.

Well I'm pretty introverted and I used to be very religious.
Now, maybe I'd think twice about taking refuge in a church if fleeing for my life from a horror movie supernatural monster.

I'm the same way. When I have been interacting with people for too long, especially at work, I quickly feel emotionally and mentally exhausted as though they have sucked the life right out of me. I have to be alone for a good long time in order to recuperate.

I grew up in a religious home. Fairly laid back, but nonetheless very active. I am heavily introverted and I really don't like religion. I wouldn't say it's a dislike, I just don't find any value in it.
