I really don't know about NT's. If they grew up in a culture or family where religion was very pervasive, I think they might be just as faithful as any other type. But I will say that I personally have trouble with a lot of the cut and dried ideas of God that most people accept. I would presume that with NT's, that would be even more pronounced because of their tendency to be so logical. I need only the right emotional justification, and I can't even find enough for that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm open to the possibility that a God might exist, but I don't feel comfortable behaving as if I know anything about such a being without any basis for that faith. I don't think less of people who do have strong faith, and would even be willing to pray with them if I'm asked to. After all, it makes them feel better, and I can't know that they aren't right.
I quote Han Solo here, about how I'm tempted to think: "I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. No mystical energy field controls my destiny."
