Next Sunday, November 15, our speaker will be Myra Elder, one of my favorites.
Myra's going to speak on the psychology of religiosity. About this talk, Myra writes:
"Psychological Models of Religiosity:
How (and why) do we get religion? According to research in the field of psychology, religiosity is negatively correlated with IQ and educational level. Demographic research indicates that, the poorer the country, the more religious it is (the US is the rich outlier). On the other hand, being religious may be an evolutionary adaptation, because it includes four ways of knowing that advance the species: mysticism, ethics, myth, and ritual."
Join us this Sunday, November 15th, and see how Myra Elder plans to condense the fields of psychology, metaphysics, religion, and evolutionary biology into several digestible sound bites lasting about an hour.
