About 90% of people have faith in a supreme being, but our yearning
for the divine, and whatever it promises, involves a large
divergence in mental states and behaviors. Some adhere to doctrine,
supplication, and fastidious religious practices; others have a
strong sense they are part of something greater and more universal.
However, all religious and spiritual paths are mediated by complex
brain networks. When different areas of the brain are stimulated, a
person can have a variety of experiences, but there is no specific
'God spot' where stimulation enhances religiosity or spirituality.
Functional brain imaging shows that there are specific areas of the
brain that 'light up' when subjects perform certain religious
activities, but imaging only provides anatomic correlations, not
functional explanations. The Believer's Brain takes a step beyond
these singular methodologies, providing converging evidence from a
variety study methods of how humans' brain networks mediate
different aspects of religious and spiritual beliefs, feelings,
actions, and experiences. Although the book reveals how our brain
is the home to the religious and spiritual mind, understanding this
gift will not diminish our spirituality or our love or our belief
in a supreme being, but will increase appreciation of the apparatus
that mediates these mental states.
