Well I am not sure I actually believe this study. I was brought up by Jewish parents and went to a Jewish day school. My parents are agnostic and atheist. As a child I was very interested in God and religious education. My religious leaders and peers encouraged free thinking and exploring atheism during religious sessions.
My brother was not interested, but I was and have always had some type of faith although it has changed over the years.
To call people victims is derogatory cofty, and although I would not class myself as a theist, I am inclined to feel you are baiting some posters into a debate on a study that is not conclusive or recognised.
Some people are happy believing and are not harming anyone.
