There is no gene for religion.

There is a very simple explanation for religion: most people conform to the culture of their surrounding.

That's why most people growing up in Muslim country become Muslims, most people growing up in Mormon area become Mormons, most people growing up in atheist countries are atheist and Germany (yes, I'll go there) had a surge of Natzis-ism.

Cultural norm is a powerful thing.

But hey, I'm open to changing my mind given some evidence.

Why don't you sequence a few deceased atheists and a few deceased religious folks and by way of simple diff isolate the "religion" gene. There might be a Nobel prize in it.

It's been established that there's no single religion gene, and there's no single stupidity gene. But I repeat myself.
