New research involving a psychologist from the University of York has revealed for the first time that both belief in God and prejudice towards immigrants can be reduced by directing magnetic energy into the brain.

The researchers targeted the posterior medial frontal cortex, a part of the brain located near the surface and roughly a few inches up from the forehead that is associated with detecting problems and triggering responses that address them.

Interesting. Is anyone researching how to alter pro-immigrant or atheist sentiments as well or is this reserved only for bad thoughts?

But the christfags are the first in line to welcome arab and african terrorists and dindus, it seems with those people religious belief is strongly intertwined with accepting refugees, so blasting their brain with some magnetic energy might not achieve the desired result (at least from leftard perspective)

Those are just conservative voters, some are religious others are not. Liberal voters vote mainly pro immigration, believe or not, quite a few liberals (the somewhat sensible centre left, not the hard left) are religious but still vote pro immigration.

I'm not adverse to the idea but the belief of God entirely rests on things in like being completely unexplainable, or the unwillingness to admit in the power math and inherent logic in the submaterial like gravity and vibration.
Ultimately it doesn't matter if god exists or not, I'd just like people to stop worshipping the idols and start listening to the message. Stop preaching of people and beings and start reasoning about morality.

I must be a brainlet because to me, this chart reads like it's trying to convey the opposite of what you're saying. The "very important" line peaks in "never" (in terms of religious practice).

All very religious groups are more anti-immigrant than all moderately religious & all non-religious groups, however within the very religious group the most xenophobic subgroup doesn't attend church.
I think it's pretty obvious why that's the case. Churches are mostly co-opted by shitlibs so chuds don't have the desire to attend.

I normally have no issues regarding context but your example just wasn't clear. I belong to a several different groups of people, but many of those people only belong to one group or also belong to groups that I am not a part of. So I am not sure which people, which group(s) you are referring to.
