But of course, they have to in order to make sense out of those fairy tales and relate them to reality.

truly I feel the pain atheists are suffering now that science can prove the greater processing capacity and brain power of religious people. [not]

No, your link is a report about a study exploring the benefits of meditation on the central nervous system.

Really?
What do they use more brain for? Not for thinking or anything, obviously.
Do religious cannibals eat more of the brain than atheist cannibals, or something like that?

huh? central nervous system? seems false representation is all you got in your obviously vacant arsenal

How Enlightenment Changes Your Brain

In this original and groundbreaking book, Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman turn their attention to the pinnacle of the human experience: enlightenment. Through his brain- scan studies on Brazilian psychic mediums, Sufi mystics, Buddhist meditators, Franciscan nuns, Pentecostals, and participants in secular spirituality rituals, Newberg has discovered the specific neurological mechanisms associated with the enlightenment experience—and how we might activate those circuits in our own brains.

In his survey of more than one thousand people who have experienced enlightenment, Newberg has also discovered that in the aftermath they have had profound, positive life changes.

Enlightenment offers us the possibility to become permanently less stress-prone, to break bad habits, to improve our collaboration and creativity skills, and to lead happier, more satisfying lives. Relaying the story of his own transformational experience as well as including the stories of others who try to describe an event that is truly indescribable, Newberg brings us a new paradigm for deep and lasting change.

Praise for the Book

“I love every book I have read from Andy Newberg and Mark Waldman and this book is their best yet. How Enlightenment Changes Your Brain is a book you just can’t put down. It will show you how enlightenment is real with clear underpinnings in the brain.

Atheists prefer delusion.

All religious people meditate, got something better, since instead of countering you simply confirm what I posted.

Countering? I'm pointing out you've misrepresented the text in your OP -- which your post here confirms.
