How it the world works

Crime rate z-scores as a function of how much
 higher the proportion of a nation that believes
 in heaven is compared to the proportion that
 believes in hell. R2 = .54.
Though supernatural punishment is associated with increases in normative behavior, laboratory research reveals the concept of supernatural benevolence to be associated with decreases in normative behavior, tells PlosONE.
For example, university students with stronger beliefs in in God’s punitive and angry nature tended to be the least likely to cheat on an academic task, whereas stronger beliefs in God’s comforting and forgiving nature significantly predicted higher levels of cheating.
Religiosity shows according to study consistent positive correlations with charity and volunteerism and negative relations with lax attitudes about the justifiability of moral transgressions.
Moreover, experimental work has shown that religious priming increases so called prosocial generosity and cooperation, and decreases cheating.
Expanding on laboratory research on religious prosociality, this is the first study to tie religious beliefs to large-scale cross-national trends in pro- and anti-social behavior by using large international datasets, they investigated this prediction by examining the role of beliefs in heaven and hell.
It could be interesting that all those conclusions through the analysis of the key correlations, and the all claim-body, can be found from Max Heindel. Anyone can read the Heindel´s book The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, was revised and printed in November 1909.

Let this be a word for the moment - is the longest day of year.
