| 520 | |a The last 15 years or so has seen the development of a fascinating new area of cognitive science: the cognitive science of religion (CSR). Scientists in this field aim to explain religious beliefs and various other religious human activities by appeal to basic cognitive structures that all humans possess.

In this paper I investigate this question and argue that CSR does not show that belief in god is irrational. | ||
