In this first video for my series on neuropsychology and religion, I used survey data gathered from atheist/agnostic, previously affiliated, and currently religious/spiritual subreddits to answer the question: Is the feeling or experience of a higher power enough to anchor people into religious or spiritual beliefs?

If there are other things you think I can answer with the data, let me know!
