A:A belief in miracles is certainly likely to make a person more religious. This is the very reason that most religions claim that miraculous events were associated with their founders, and make every effort to exaggerate any event that could in any way be perceived as a miracle.

A belief in miracles can make a person more dependent. Most people believe that they must work for the things they want, and accept responsibility when they do not always achieve the things they want. A person who believes in miracles is more likely to pray for the things he or she wants, making less effort because God will provide. When what is prayed for is not forthcoming, it can be perceived as meaning that the person did not pray enough or because God thought the person unworthy.

A belief in miracles can distort one's understanding of reality. In the real world, everything has a cause and everything happens within the laws of nature. But, the person who believes in miracles can refuse to accept the great age of the earth, refuse to accept the scientific evidence on evolution and expect things to happen outside the limits of science.
