A new study by researchers at the University of Otago has found a link between anxiety and religious belief.
The study, which was published in
The International Journal for the Psychology of Religion, had almost 1000 participants complete a recall test to see if people who were anxious or non-anxious had a better memory of supernatural agents.
Lead author Dr Thomas Swan, of the Department of Psychology, said they found people who feel anxious were more likely to remember beings with supernatural abilities, such as gods, than beings without.
