Guys, hang on. The article notes a correlation, NOT a causation.

Everybody (including, I think, the journalist who wrote the piece) seems to be reading this like religious belief RESULTS in lower AAC response. Bu it could well be that people with low AAC response express that neurochemical fact through increased incidence of religious behavior. I'd be SHOCKED if the scientists concluded that religious belief as a practice results in brain chemistry changes.
