Product Description
A zoologist by profession, David Hay holds that religious or spiritual awareness is biologically natural to the human species and has been selected for in organic evolution because it has survival value. Although naturalistic, this hypothesis is not intended to be reductionist with regard to religion. Indeed, it implies that all people, even those who profess no religious belief, nonetheless have a spiritual life. This book documents the repudiation of religion in the West, describes the historical and economic context of European secularism, and considers recent developments in our understanding of the neurophysiology of the brain as it relates to religious experience.
