Can magnets zap your belief in God?

• Can transcranial magnetic stimulation change belief in God and attitudes toward immigrants?

A host reads the NYT piece on Holbrook et al.'s study claiming transcranial magnetic stimulation reduced belief in God by nearly a third and softened immigration attitudes by 28.5 percent. The group attacks the study's Likert-scale questionnaires, expectation and placebo effects, and the premise that belief is a disease to cure; one argues the same pacifying effect could come from a lobotomy, and Andrew (named on-air) makes the case the knowledge is being used for the wrong ends. Jokes about MRIs, magnet soup, and Iron Man close it out.
