Minds and Gods: The Cognitive Foundations of Religion
Tremlin, Todd (Assistant Professor of Religion, Department of Philosophy & Religion, Assistant Professor of Religion, Department of Philosophy & Religion, Central Michigan University)
Around the world and throughout history, in cultures as diverse as ancient Mesopotamia and modern America, human beings have been compelled by belief in gods and developed complex religions around them. But why? What makes belief in supernatural beings so widespread? And why are the gods of so many different people so similar in nature? This provocative book explains the origins and persistence of religious ideas by looking through the lens of science at the commonstructures and functions of human thought.
