Los rituales extremos parecen amplificar actitudes empáticas así como comportamientos bondadosos y desinteresados, siendo el dolor el vínculo que conecta estas acciones con la prosocialidad. https://t.co/A6ahl5xrIv https://t.co/9FeTjeKwEh
"Strict Church Theory": a well-studied phenomenon in which denominations that ask the most of members tend to keep them longest, while more liberal denominations wither. It's a useful way to understand any religion -- for instance, "gender identity" https://t.co/DNv12yy0GF

@sgadarian Finally, I have found the work on how “Extreme Rituals Promote Prosociality” useful for thinking specifically about the role of suffering as a crazy-extreme signal of commitment to a cause. https://t.co/bTgK2qvdMg fin/

@AngelicaOung You know, religious studies scholars actually observe something called the “strict religion theory.” Basically, evangelical/Mormon denominations thrive while more liberal ones are losing congregants. I think it’s because people want rules. https://t.co/vUbb1C5Y6y

@NelwynToes @RLStollar There's decades of evidence studies showing that strict religions see absolute growth. While liberal churches decline. Secularization and the fall in religiosity comes from mainline liberal churches. https://t.co/1Z3GLW4mbF

@Uw0_Cum https://t.co/qmcc1yuHem I'd point to this video for an interesting counterpoint. Tbh as someone who has been to a Unitarian service, as much as I would love a religious community in my area to interact with... not them. They seem to have no vitality.
@Carnaina Me recuerda una teoría que dice que las religiones más estrictas son más exitosas que las tolerantes. Cuando hay altos costos tanto para entrar como para abandonar una religión, se incentiva la cooperación y solidaridad intragrupo https://t.co/lhkHfyLxkE

In a society where people are increasingly moving away from organized religion, wouldn't it make sense that more permissive religious groups thrive? The opposite is true. Great video by @andrewmarkhenry explaining why: Why Strict Religions Succeed https://t.co/0gczfEGPGD
