His name came up in the October edition of Scientific American.

 

I'd never even heard of the psychology of religion until reading this.

 

As far as I can see, its a good thing to gain a better understanding of how the human mind works.

 

I happen to own one, so I should make the effort.

 

Thank you.

From the link article it seems that the author's interests are more in the psychology of dreaming, where religion is little mentioned. The psychology of dreaming is something I've read little about and might be very interesting and insightful if the details of the research were explained in some detail. I would guess that religion would play a part in the dreaming of very religious people, but may no longer be a factor in the dreams of most people here in the X-christian network.
