Because of the design of our minds. That is Justin Barrett's simple
answer to the question of his title. With rich evidence from
cognitive science but without technical language, psychologist
Barrett shows that belief in God is an almost inevitable
consequence of the kind of minds we have. Most of what we believe
comes from mental tools working below our conscious awareness. And
what we believe consciously is in large part driven by these
unconscious beliefs. Barrett demonstrates that beliefs in gods
match up well with these automatic assumptions; beliefs in an
all-knowing, all-powerful God match up even better. Barrett goes on
to explain why beliefs like religious beliefs are so widespread and
why it is very difficult for our minds to think without them.
Anyone who wants a concise, clear, and scientific explanation of
why anyone would believe in God should pick up Barrett's book.
