Cool you dont like that study. Oh well, sadly once again nothing that you have said can be ascribed to anything other than opinion, I dont know who your sister is but sure lets take her at face value. (Just to be clear I know who you claim your sister to be, but I can claim that my uncle planned the RAF gulf war, it really does not mean much in this context).
I accept that it is the only study you can find on the net, I actually found a few more but they were behind paywalls. So the best I can really do is references in I guess second level academia, by which I mean books and the like as opposed to actual studies.
a huge one the Dean (I think sorry not going to look him up again) Hamer, who is referenced in tons of things regarding this. It looks like he was the most famous to suggest a link between inheritance and religion. I am sure you will find references to him as you look around.
Heres a second tier from the royal publication society;
royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2010.2504
In which it states:
Sadly the links mostly go to book excerpts, but I would consider this legitimate.
This article just takes it as a given, which I know it not very helpful, but anyhow:
There is plenty out there.
I think on the balance of the study I cited and the secondary sources I have just shown you, it is far to say that there is at the very least still debate of there being a genetic component to religious propensity.
Or maybe you can cite some studies that back up you assertion that 'There is no genetic disposition towards religion or faith'

I repeat AGAIN
and I repeat, it is NOT possible to DNA test for being 'religious' because it is not a genetically testable thing.
End of story.
End of story.
IF you can isolate things like gullibility, ability to follow instructions naivety lack of logical thinking etc etc etc and other such traits, and prove that they are 'religious' then you may identify people who MAY have 'predispositions' towards religiosity.
That is far from a genetic propensity or disposition towards religion.
The tricky part is to identify ( as I said previously numerous times) exactly WHAT those identifiable traits are.
You may well disagree with the ones I mentioned....hence part of the overall problem in this field.
And you are seriously not getting that your unfounded assertions mean nothing.
The evidence provided shows that you are incorrect.
I am comfortable that I have overwhelmingly shown that there is good support for the notion that religious tendency is genetically influenced, until you can cite anything that supports your stance that 'There is no genetic disposition towards religion or faith', I think we are going to have to accept you were mistaken.
