The area of the brain that is well stimulated is the frontal lobe. That part plays a role in increasing focus and intelligence.
  
  
• When studying religion, the part of the brain called the parietal lobe will also be properly stimulated. It has a role in processing spatial and temporal orientation. So, this area can improve language skills.
  
  
• By studying religion, the ability of children's prefrontal cortex can also increase. This part of the brain functions to assist in decision-making. If this area of the brain is not stimulated properly, it will cause a person to become out of control.
