Psychology of religion is essentially as old as psychology itself, with over a hundred years of history and claiming some of psychology's most notable characters as contributors, including William James, Sigmund Freud, Gordon Allport, and Jean Piaget. Sectarian violence, secularization, the 'culture wars', and increase in cross-cultural and cross-religious contact through migration, urbanization, and globalization have all contributed to heightened interest in questions such as: where do religious beliefs come from? In recent years, this subfield of psychology has risen in prominence.
Is religious belief and practice good or bad for us? Why do they seem to motivate behaviour so powerfully? Does religious belief assist or hinder morality?Increasingly discussed by journalists and science-popularisers such as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, A.C.
