Why do people have religious ideas? And why
thosereligious ideas? The main theme of Pascal Boyer’s work is that important aspects of religious representations are constrained by universal properties of the human mind-brain. Experimental results from developmental psychology, he says, can explain why certain religious representations are more likely to be acquired, stored, and transmitted by human minds.
