Now out in JPSP! Behavioral economic experiments w/ Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews in the U.S., Israel and Fiji show that belief in God can facilitate cooperation, even across religious divides! More about our work (co-led with @jeremyginges.bsky.social) below! psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...
During these terrible days of Israel’s genocide in Gaza , it’s easy to come to the false conclusion that conflict is inevitable and rests on deep differences such as attachment to different types of religious belief. The JPSP paper described by Mikey in this thread below is a nice antidote.

You can't tackle antisemitism by quietly disinviting individuals - especially if these people have a mass following. The "rotten apple" approach never works - especially if you're not even willing to say it's rotten. You need to talk about it, explain, educate.
