Correlation between religion and belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life
A psychologist from North Dakota, U.S. , Clay Routledge, conducted a study that shows that there is a clear relationship between religious faith and the belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life. The relationship is that the tendency is that those who profess a religious doctrine tend to disregard the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrial life. On the other hand, those who consider themselves agnostics or atheists often believe in this possibility based on the vastness of the universe and the high possibility that life has developed in other parts of the galaxy.
