520 |a This article distinguishes between three projects in Ernest Becker's (1924-1974) later work: his psychology of "religion", his psychology of religion, and his psychology of Religion (with a capital R). The first is an analysis of culture and civilization as immortality projects, means by which to deny death. The second, which overlaps with the first, is a characterization of religion-as-practiced (e.g., by adherents of the world religions) as a particularly effective immortality project vis-à-vis death anxiety. The third is less social scientific and more theological; Becker argues for a view of God that is in the tradition of Søren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich (and, arguably, Pseudo-Dionysius, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas). Focusing on the second of these projects - as much has already been written on the first, and little can be said about the third - this article evaluates Becker's claims about religion-as-practiced in light of recent developments in social cognitive psychology.
