          Abortion Views Closely Tied to Views on Race and Religion

          The relationship between religion, attitudes toward race, and abortion rights have grown stronger in recent years. Researchers found those who exhibit high racial resentment are more inclined to espouse anti-choice attitudes, regardless of a person's religious views or political beliefs. For example, religious conservatives with low racial resentment are more likely to be pro-choice than their peers who exhibit higher racial resentment. The same is true for religious liberals with low racial resentment.

          AI: Unveiling Mysteries of Faith and Religion

          AI is revolutionizing how we engage with ancient faith texts and spirituality, making previously inaccessible texts available through advanced technologies like 3D X-ray imaging and language models. Researchers demonstrated this by deciphering burnt papyrus from AD 79 using AI, while startups are creating AI-Gurus for guiding through Sanskrit texts. However, the technology also poses risks of misinformation, as seen in the creation of deepfake images.

          Are Religious People Really, On Average, Less Smart than Atheists?

          A new study addresses whether religiousity is associated with lower intelligence. Researchers report religious people appear to be predisposed to rely more heavily on intuition when it comes to decision making, over reasoning. They conclude cognitive training could allow religious minded people to maintain their believes without over relying on intuition when making decisions.
