There are some conjectures on small data here, but the big question in my mind is how did they get so many *chan users in their sample(s)?
If rich, white, double-degree men in the US both go to church a lot and read *chan a lot, then that's definitely a disturbing combo. Either venue can be a vector for conspiracy injection.
One issue for society is assuming education teaches logic and protects from gullibility.
I wish they had measured evidence-free belief too.
