I would like to see more discussion about religious thinking is and less about what people want it to be. Daniel Dennet tried to get that started with Breaking the Spell and I think more work has been done, but you don’t hear much about it. This is no doubt due to what the marketers of religious books think will sell.

I was listening to a Jonathan Haidt interview this weekend and he just casually threw out that the human mind is geared toward religion in the middle of some other thoughts. He’s an academic, and I wonder if up in those ivory towers, this is commonly accepted, but the rest of us just don’t hear it.
