Cognitive Science, Religion, and Theology is the eighth title published in the Templeton Science and Religion Series, in which scientists from a wide range of fields distill their experience and knowledge into brief tours of their respective specialties. In this volume, well-known cognitive scientist Justin L. Barrett offers an accessible overview of this interdisciplinary field, reviews key findings in this area, and discusses the implications of these findings for religious thought and practice.
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of minds and mental activity, and as such, it addresses a fundamental feature of what it is to be human. Further, in so far as religious traditions concern ideas and beliefs about the nature of humans, the nature of the world, and the nature of the divine, cognitive science can contribute both directly and indirectly to these theological concerns. Barrett shows how direct contributions come from the growing area called cognitive science of religion (CSR), which investigates how human cognitive systems inform and constrain religious thought, experience, and expression. CSR attempts to provide answers to questions such as: Why it is that humans tend to be religious? And why are certain ideas (e.g. the possibility of an afterlife) so cross-culturally recurrent? Barrett also covers the indirect implications that cognitive science has for theology, such as human similarities and differences with the animal world, freedom and determinism, and the relationship between minds and bodies.
>Cognitive Science, Religion, and Theology critically reviews the research on these fascinating questions and discusses the many implications that arise from them. In addition, this short volume also offers suggestions for future research, making it ideal not only for those looking for an overview of the field thus far, but also for those seeking a glimpse of where the field might be going in the future.
The book is published by Templeton Press.

Reseñas de la Crítica
For me, this sort of argument works in Dodge ball, but not in investment decisions. In my view he undervalues the aspects of Quality of Information, Risk and Quality of Evidence in order to weakly justify a naturally occurring belief in a God.

But it's true that the idea "someone did it" for natural phenomena might be easily acceptable and that was the beginning of religion. The god of gaps. The author realizes it, but he's running away from the conclusion that religion is therefore man-made. Instead he philosophises that just because the source of the belief is irrational, maybe it happens to be true also. Hahaha.
The author doesn't seem to be a fundamentalist. He accepts evolution created by god.
In the end he "debunks" Atheism by an argument that Atheists trust their reason, but they shouldn't if reason is a product of evolution. But if evolution was created by god then we can trust reason. Hahaha.
