A Gene of Religiosity

I was looking for something else this morning, but found this -- a post on New Order Mormon about a gene for religiosity.

Poster Hagoth says:


There is a study that links alcohol & nicotine use AND church attendance to genetics.

There have been a lot of posts here wondering what exactly makes people want to go to church. Turns out the reason some people enjoy church and others abhor it might be genetic. AND the same gene makes you less likely to drink and smoke.
