re: #6 Naso Tang

I suppose some people, who pick and choose their church based on their personal preference could gravitate to one or another based on their fear of hell, but this is getting somewhat away from the evidence at hand.

That was precisely what I was wondering. I realize that is not what the study looked at, but the fact that there is apparently the same range of behavior in religious and non-religious people raises the possibility that the religious folks are sorting themselves into groups, otherwise it would seem to be a remarkable coincidence that the numbers are the same for the religious and non-religious. After all, if fear of punishment is what keeps us honest, the non-religious should cheat more than the religious. Combine that with the large percentage of people who change religious affiliations and I think I have a good argument.
