In his latest book "God's Brain", Lionel Tiger, Charles Darwin Professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University, talks about how religion takes place in brains, and not just in churches, temples and mosques. He explains how the brain created religion, and how religion feeds the brain. He describes how feelings of connection resulting from religion are a function of neurochemistry, and how churches are ,serotonin factories., And he explores why secular institutions may fail to inspire commitment as compared to religion.
Forgive my last posting. I removed it on account that Lionel seems to be of two minds. I will have to read his book before even thinking that I have the right to comment on his shared thoughts.
