On average, are right-brained people more religious than left-brained people?

Question

In my opinion, it seems so because the left hemisphere of the brain is more logic, while the right hemisphere is more creativity and imagination.
Is it true?

Answer 1

Bah, that left brain logic, right brain emotional is total quackery. I don't know if it ever had any doctors to endorse it, but I have yet to meet one who does.

Answer 2

"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional
mind, the other of the rational mind. In a very real
sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that
feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence,
Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8).

The rational mind is connected with reason and logic.
The emotional mind is connected with intuition and
religion. However, religion is unique to humans.
The Upanishads say that these two components of
mind are opposite in nature.

During 1800s, Anthropologists had a problem as to how
to classify human beings. One researcher proposed the
expression "intelligent animal". After advanced studies
on monkeys, it was dropped. Another researcher proposed
"tool using animal". After observing some animals
making wooden tools and sharpening them with knife like
stones, it was dropped. Another researcher proposed
"weapon using animal". A decade ago, a rare film was
shot in African forests. One short monkey was hit very
badly by a big monkey. The short monkey prepared a
wooden knife using stones and hid it on the top of a
tree. After some days, when the big monkey came to
attack the short monkey, it ran up to the tree for the
weapon it has hid and killed the big monkey. The one
thing that the anthropologists found with any group of
human beings, even if they did not have contacts with
the out side world for thousands of years, is
spirituality with some form of religion. So, man is a
"spiritual animal" if you want to call him that way.

The Upanishads say that "Manush" (human) was so named
because he has "Manas" a mind higher than that of the
animals which realises the divinity in creation. It was
present since the creation of human beings. Religion is
the characteristic feature of most of the human beings.
It is as eternal and and as unchanging as the Almighty.
Disbelief by a few will not affect it.

Answer 3

Yes, I believe so. I know that the right side of my brain is larger than the left, and I have always been spiritual, though not at all 'godly'
