Synopsis

This cognitive study of religion challenges not only various supernatural views of religion but also the view that psychological theories are irrelevant for the understanding of religion as a cultural system. It is the interplay between the "cultural" and the "cognitive" that creates religion as a phenomenon. Among the issues discussed are ritual, god beliefs, animism, magic, the origins of religion and "religion" as a category, as well as the theoretical foundations of the cognitive study of religion.
