What are the reasons for religiosity from the perspective of psychology and sociology? In this Ebook, the religious studies scholar Victoria Rationi points out an astonishing parallel between the findings of the sociology of religion (Ronald Inglehart) and the psychology of religion (Pehr Granqvist, Lee A. Kirkpatrick). She explains the theories of these authors and then gives many examples in easy-to-understand language of characteristics and life circumstances that increase the likelihood of being or becoming a believer. However, she also emphasizes that no science in the world can prove whether there is a god/gods or not. But she also points - as in "Religiophobia" - to some international statistics that allow the question of whether religions in the twenty-first century fulfill the promises they have typically always made: that they make religious societies more peaceful, honest and happy and contribute to their positive social development. Secular studies, as pursued by Phil Zuckerman, Ryan T. Cragun and Isabella Kasselstrand, for example, are also mentioned.
