Here's a short article on an interesting study:

Basically, they "primed" groups by giving them either a religious or scientific story of the origin of the universe and life on earth, then tested for reactions to both science and religion.  (read for more).

I found the subliminal bit of particular interest in the study...

Thoughts?

This might be interesting but I think I would want to see more about the work - maybe read the paper itself before commenting. Certainly the second experiment, in which words were flashed up on the screen, may be more to do with the subliminal clues as the anything else.
