It would be prudent that you actually google the researchers, rather than do a snap judgement about them.  If you do this, maybe you will be more accurate in you assessment.  If you won't do this simple thing, that would take a few minutes, you have little interest in truth and more interest in defending your own biases.

For one thing, if you were familar at all with the book, you would see how brains get damaged by fundamentalism, and a fear driven belief system.  But, feel free to operate under your own presumptions, if they make you feel better.

Aren't most religions like this? I know for a fact that that's how Christianity is.

What you know as "a fact", based on your personal experience, is a sliver of what Christianity can manifest itself as.  Not all religious experience is fundamentalist.  You would need to research this further.  What I say is correct.  I will not go into this further and argue it so, because I don't care if you believe it or not (I am more concerned about you ending up homeless or getting grief needlessly for what you think).  And this is not the place to get into it. Even a suggestion for a category to research related to what I discussed ends up people arguing I am wrong about its conclusions and what it is about or, off the cuff finding it suspect.

I believe it is a LOT better if people just believe or not, to just do it  and not make scenes on forums or elsewhere.  If you don't want to believe, then don't.  If you do, then do.  If you don't but are open to believing, seek to find positive answers, rather than challenge people that do.
