I was wondering if there was a correlation between Atheism, Theism, and Agnosticism and which hand either of these favor. It has been shown that favoring the use of either hand uses a different section of the brain to do basically the same thing. One half of the brain is analogical and the other creative.
Please list whether you're an Atheist, Theist, or Agnostic and also whether you're right, left handed, or ambidextrous.
Agnostic and I'm ambidextrous. |

Atheist/mostly right handed. Do certain things like play pool or shoot a gun left handed. |

I guess that there isn't a real correlation since the majority of the population is right-handed to begin with. |

There still may be something to it. I remember reading that many naturally left-handed people become, or are forced to become right-handed, do to social pressure. I'm not sure if this is as common as it was in the past. |

I wasn't aware of this until a few years ago, but i was born left handed and forced to become right handed. Usually doing this causes learning disorders. I excel in all subjects but math  |
