This is ridiculous.
An atheist can change beliefs and it has NOTHING to do with "genes". Truly "science" is getting more and more absurd. It's no wonder the U.S. is BEHIND, worldwide in the field of science.
I don' know if you are involved in science, but you've just hit the nail squarely on the head. The last time I judged a middle school science fair, there were very few exhibits that dealt with science. It was very sad.
This research on genes contributing to religious inclinations is the worst kind of voodoo science obviously defined by a timely political agenda. There is another one of these religion haters named Matthew Alper who believes that there is a "God part" of the human brain that makes people believe in God. His hatred of religious people, however, is very transparent.
