Twin Studies and the Role of Genetics in Religious Belief

I recently studied a 12-year-old identical male twin pair—Jim and Carl. Interestingly, their mother revealed that her twins were being raised in different religions, i.e., her husband's and her own—her husband is Jewish, and she is Lutheran. The couple agreed that if the twins were to choose the same religion when they are older, that would be fine with them.
