Do you need God to be good? A meta-analysis of 701 effects across 237 samples (N = 811,663) finds a correlation of r = 0.13 between religiosity and prosociality, more with self-reported prosociality (r = 0.15) than with prosocial behavior (r = 0.06) doi.org/10.1037/bul000…

@Oliver_S_Curry Makes sense if religiosity is more about reproductive morals than cooperative morals (e.g., sciencedirect.com/science/articl…). Would love to see a meta analysis of the relationship between religiosity and sexual / reproductive variables.

@DavidPinsof Good point. (Although reproductive morals are cooperative too.)
