Religious people are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories

People who think an almighty deity created the world are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories, scientists have discovered. Experts found the religion or God a person believes in is irrelevant, believers are still more likely to think the moon landing was a hoax or JFK was killed by the CIA. Scientists claim the'previously unidentified' link between the two is down to a brain bias that connects unrelated events. Teleological thinkers are willing to accept statements such as'the sun rises in order to give us light' and'the purpose of bees is to ensure pollination' as true. They hope that drawing the link between the two errors in rational thinking can highlight the'major flaws of conspiracy theories'.
