Is there something in some people's brains that make them more susceptible to stupid beliefs, like religion?

Yes, there is evidence to suggest that certain areas of the brain may make people more prone to adopting religious or pseudoscientific beliefs. For example, a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford found that increased activity in the regions of the brain associated with religious and spiritual thinking may help explain why some people are more open to believing in things that can't be proven or explained. Additionally, other studies have also suggested that higher levels of certain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine in parts of the brain may contribute to accepting unproven beliefs.

Studies have suggested that there are certain factors, such as poor education, lower cognitive abilities, and lack of exposure to contravening evidence, that can increase an individual's vulnerability to holding beliefs like those found in religion.
