Thinking can undermine religious faith, study finds: Those who think more analytically are less inclined to be religious believers than are those who tend to follow a gut instinct, researchers conclude

The study, published in Friday's edition of the journal Science, indicates that belief may be a more malleable feature of the human psyche than those of strong faith may think.
