knowing that this leads to areas fraught with serious, serious issues... one could say the twins have similar levels/types of "brain damage". careful treading required.

Hence my saying it's structural. I mean I suppose the brain damage could have happened in the womb because the mother was a substance abuser or something, but I think it's more likely that certain structures in parts of the brain, which can either be natural or caused by brain damage, increase religious fundamentalism.
