<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our work focuses on studying cognitive and evolutionary aspects of holding strong beliefs, either based on organised religion or other spiritual teachings - and we are looking for participants to take part in her on-line study.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our most recent work is interested in finding out more about the cognitive mechanisms involved in belonging to a religious group and its relation to art appreciation.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are looking for both those who do and do not consider themselves to hold strong religious beliefs.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may have completed the survey before, so it is important that you participate only once. If you have not previously taken part, it will only take about 20-30 minutes of your time.</span></div>
