"Incongruous as it sounds, a new Canadian study discovers that the more importance people place on religion, the more likely they are to lie for financial gain. The lead researcher hypothesizes that this 'really strange effect' is the result of the faithful feeling less kinship with the secular, and ultimately less concern about screwing them over for a few bucks.

Also likely to fib for personal gain are business majors and people whose parents are divorced: all other things equal, these people are 18.1 and 29.3 per cent, respectively, more likely to be deceptive when money is on the line."

Peace! :)
