    Isn't this saying they read stories to religious kids and non-religious kids? When they read a religious story with ordinarily-impossible events, presumably things such as walking on water, the religious kids accepted them. Is that a surprise, esp if the stories were from their own faith tradition?

      They confirmed that at a young age, children taught to believe in magic tend to believe in magic, substituting a primitive animistic view of the universe for causality, with a mentality that is open to gullibility for the bizarre. It would be more interesting to see what the results are when they are older and more mature, and what it took for them to get over early miseducation for those who do overcome it.

    You hate religon and take every opportunity to denigrate it.

    We get it. Give it a rest.

    Your constant carping makes a more telling point about you than anything you post.
