The cognitive science of religion is a new discipline that looks at
the roots of religious belief in the cognitive architecture of the
human mind. The Roots of Religion deals with the philosophical and
theological implications of the cognitive science of religion which
grounds religious belief in human cognitive structures: religious
belief is 'natural', in a way that even scientific thought is not.
Does this new discipline support religious belief, undermine it, or
is it, despite many claims, perhaps eventually neutral? This
subject is of immense importance, particularly given the rise of
the 'new atheism'. Philosophers and theologians from North America,
UK and Australia, explore the alleged conflict between truth claims
and examine the roots of religion in human nature. Is it less
'natural' to be an atheist than to believe in God, or gods? On the
other hand, if we can explain theism psychologically, have we
explained it away. Can it still claim any truth? This book debates
these and related issues.
