Psychology and Religion: Introduction
After having followed the PEW surveys on religion and public life for many years, I thought an extended treatment of the subject might be interesting. It might be, but perhaps in another book.
While some interesting fact pops up here and there, this book reaffirms my belief that psychology is not science. It consists of polling and then trying to explain the poll results. I have found much more elucidating descriptions from evolutionary psychologists; this book feels too academically remote. British.
Also, the research spans the whole of the 20th C. plus makes several USA & UK comparisons, with little historical context to situate the research. The leaps in time and distances involved dilute the impact of the research and leaves the facts not adding up to much, for me anyway.
I am open for other book suggestions......?
