I personally noticed since 2017 when WhatsApp launched its status feature that nearly all former colleagues from over many professional years who were terminated for fraud, corruption, or other general malfeasance tended to post dramatically more scripture verses, church events, and religious imagery on their social media then other current and former colleagues from across the educational, NGO, and banking industries of my past and present career.
This sort of duplicitous dissonance confounded me. I set off on a quest to uncover whether externally professed religiosity correlates to or, even worse, causes lower integrity and unethical behaviour.
