Religious children are meaner than their secular counterparts, study finds
Friday 6 November 2015 - Religious belief appears to have negative influence on children’s altruism and judgments of others’ actions even as parents see them as ‘more empathetic’

Children from religious families are less kind and more punitive than those from non-religious households, according to a new study. Academics from seven universities across the world studied Christian, Muslim and non-religious children to test the relationship between religion and morality. They found that religious belief is a negative influence on children’s altruism. “Overall, our findings ... contradict the commonsense and popular assumption that children from religious households are more altruistic and kind towards others,” said the authors of The Negative Association Between Religiousness and Children’s Altruism Across the World, published this week in Current Biology. “More generally, they call into question whether religion is vital for moral development, supporting the idea that secularisation of moral discourse will not reduce human kindness – in fact, it will do just the opposite.”

Almost 1,200 children, aged between five and 12, in the US, Canada, China, Jordan, Turkey and South Africa participated in the study. Almost 24% were Christian, 43% Muslim, and 27.6% non-religious. The numbers of Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, agnostic and other children were too small to be statistically valid. They were asked to choose stickers and then told there were not enough to go round for all children in their school, to see if they would share. They were also shown film of children pushing and bumping one another to gauge their responses. The findings “robustly demonstrate that children from households identifying as either of the two major world religions (Christianity and Islam) were less altruistic than children from non-religious households”.

Older children, usually those with a longer exposure to religion, “exhibit[ed] the greatest negative relations”. The study also found that “religiosity affects children’s punitive tendencies”. Children from religious households “frequently appear to be more judgmental of others’ actions”, it said. Muslim children judged “interpersonal harm as more mean” than children from Christian families, with non-religious children the least judgmental. Muslim children demanded harsher punishment than those from Christian or non-religious homes. At the same time, the report said that religious parents were more likely than others to consider their children to be “more empathetic and more sensitive to the plight of others”.

There's an enormous difference in comparing "religious" and Christain influenced kids. Contrary to popular beliefs religions have nothing to do with Christainity.

Who made this study? Who gave the money? What were the concrete variables they used for the terms "religious", "punitive", "kindness", "altruism" and so on. And what has this all to do with biology and not with history, sociology and/or psychology?

Jews for example never in history punished children in violent ways or Muslims for example often don't force children to go to bed if they don't like go to do so. They just simple wait until they sleep. Lots of punitive structures in the world came by the way from the military structures and law and order systems - or with words: from the states and not from religions. Today exists unfortunatelly again the situaiton that states try ot be a kind of religion themselve and specially the belief "atheism" dominates lots of materialistic oriented societies - capitalistic as well as socialistic.

Some examples: Tolerance is a nice thing - not always it is easy to be tolerant - but if someone would ask me "Do you tolerate murder" then for sure he could always only hear a clear "no" from me. The conclusion "All Catholics are always intolerant" would be a joke in this case. If you think about this example then you will find out that "tolerance" is an ability and not a value. Same by the way with "kindness". Kindness is an ability and not a value. Also the same with "empathy" and other modern values. They are pseudovalues not values. Mr Sheldon Cooper for example is not empathic - but this makes him and all phycisists not to Frankensteins.

I'm by the way on my own not a blind moralist. One of the things I don't like today very much are the pseudomoralisms everywhere. And if I have the choice between a competent salesman and a 'friendly' salesman then I prefer normally the competent salesman.
