Interesting finding that i had when I m doing research on my topic. Prosocial Behavior has been always promote and encourage in the religious context. I am wondering, people who are religious are they more prosocial compared to free thinker or atheist?

Too bad, i can't do a research regarding religion influence on prosocial behavior.

However, i am still exciting with the topic that i am doing now. Hope to get fruitful result =D
