How Religious Fundamentalism Hijacks the Brain

www.psychologytoday.com
In moderation, religious and spiritual practices can be great for a personās life and mental well-being.

This is primarily because fundamentalism discourages any logical reasoning or scientific evidence that challenges its scripture, making it inherently maladaptive.
