Why does anyone disbelieve in God when most people believe?
It’s undeniable that religion is a core tenet of human nature. It is also true that our overwhelmingly religious species is also as atheistic as it’s ever been.
Today on the show, cultural evolutionary psychologist Will Gervais shares breakthroughs in the scientific study of atheism, including key findings from cognitive science, cultural evolution, and evolutionary psychology.
Gervais and Shermer discuss:
• Role(s) of religion in history and society today
• Is religion and belief in God(s) adaptive or a byproduct?
• What cognitive features of the brain are engaged in faith, religion, & belief in God?
• Why some religions are so much more successful than others
• Is religion good for society or personal health and happiness?
