There is more and more scientific research being done in this area.<br /><br />The truth is that the mind is software. The activities of the mind can be trained and altered as new neurological pathways are created. Prayer and meditation are tools that have been used for thousands of years to allow for 'self-programming', often to program qualities such as compassion, generosity, acceptance, patience, trust, and openness.<br /><br />When you look at this question of religion and trust, don't forget to look at the direct causal link between prayer/meditation and positive human psychology. I believe that religious people directly alter their minds through their own actions - using the neurological power of prayer and meditation.A.

Faith is something more than trust. Indeed faith includes the reason. Faith is also an act of will. The classical example of faith is given by the prophet Abraham whose trust in his God was so great that he did not esitate to sacrifice his son Isac. Nevertheless Abraham well knew that God in someway would intervene for saving his son. So faith is not a blind trust, but also reason. <br />The book I have recently written may help in this direction and I want to draw it to your attention, as you may be interested in it. Its titile is "Travels of the mind" and it is available at www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TravelsOfTheMind.html<br />If you have any question I am most willing to discuss about this topic.<br />Ettore GrilloEttore Grillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721932161573781073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-58775752316645521722009-12-03T12:37:28.691-08:002009-12-03T12:37:28.691-08:00Religious folks still trust one another more than ...Religious folks still trust one another more than they trust atheists.

(Presumably Christianity, and Roman Catholicism at that.) At best, religion <i>might</i> increase trust among fellow coreligionists; but even then it decreases trust for people of other religions. So on net, there is a decrease of trust. Alas, as evidence from societies that are fairly homogenous with respect to religion indicates, religion probably doesn’t increase trust even among fellow coreligionists.This Universenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-67468606667200460112009-11-29T08:24:48.528-08:002009-11-29T08:24:48.528-08:00Generic Operator, I think that you nailed it.
My ...Generic Operator, I think that you nailed it.<br /><br />My personal observation is that in cultures where there is a true belief in Hell or an equivalent as a possible afterlife, individuals with higher IQs are increasingly trustworthy. If one takes away either the belief in adverse consequences for action or the higher IQ, individuals become less trustworthy.<br /><br />Inductivist, thanks for a good article. I think, however, that it's not an issue of whether religion makes one trust others more, but rather an issue of whether or not religion makes one more trustworthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-72715391708028239882009-11-28T15:05:57.873-08:002009-11-28T15:05:57.873-08:00Co-religionists are more trusting of each other, n...Co-religionists are more trusting of each other, not of humans generally.
