Hi I'd like to know if
a) there is any behavioral patterns or psychological traits that are common to those people who have a strong belief in a religion or creationism, especially given the current era of readily available alternative information on ideologies (including science), and
b) whether (or not), by pointing out these behavioral patterns/psychological traits, they can be used to stimulate alternative thinking on their given indoctrinated state.
I've had a bit of a look on the web and haven't found bits and pieces on the subject, but most of them seem to be aimed around indoctrination from one religion to another (perhaps my search terms need refining). Either way I'm especially interested in the responses from the 'longer serving' users of this forum.. let's be honest, there's no lack of interaction with the indoctrinated here...
