Article-"Does Psychology of Religion Exist?" by Kenneth Brown

There may be a biological relationship with the belief in God. Once again, the question that arises is "Does God Exist? I came to the conclusion that there is not much information on Religion in Psychology, yet it is one of the fastest growing aspects of life. Although Psychology of Religion is not taught formally, there are a lot of journals and books that are devoted to Religion. As stated in the article, scientists believe that people believe in God, not because of his existence, but because they can blame their bad outcomes on him. There is a distinct relationship between religious practices and their impact on society. For example, when people get married in a religious setting, it is against the church rules to get remarried in the church. This is one example that may affect your everyday life. Despite the terrorist attacks that were said to be in the name of God, The science of behavior is still reticent to study the subject.
