Certainly seems to work that way. People suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy have been known to become very religious (Van Gough, who became very creative as a result of his epilepsy, and then turned very religious and eventually crazy as his condition worsened/changed), so I don't see why it wouldn't work the other way around. Let's try out your proposal on central USA.
And yeah that's a good point Cinc. Religion was probably originally invented for the purposes of explaining natural elements, but has since been converted into a tool for control exploiting the part of the brain aforementioned.
