Human minds are great at coming up with ideas that help them make sense of the world, but those ideas do not always accord with official religious beliefs. Slone presents discoveries from the cognitive science of religion and shows how they help us to understand exactly why it is that religious people do and think things that they shouldn't.
Why do religious people believe what they shouldn''t - not what others think they shouldn''t believe, but things that don''t accord with their own avowed religious beliefs? Slone terms this phenomenon ''theological incorrectness''. He argues that it exists because the mind is built in such a way that it is natural for us to think divergent thoughts simultaneously. Human minds are great at coming up with innovative ideas that help them make sense of the world, but those ideas do not always accord with official religious beliefs. Slone presents the latest discoveries from the cognitive science of religion and shows how they help us to understand exactly why it is that religious people do and think things that they shouldn''t.
