SUMMARY:Does Cognitive Psychology Subvert Religious Belief? - Prof. James 
 Jones\, Rutgers University

DESCRIPTION:Cognitive science is the current frontier issue between scienc
 e and religion. So-called “New Atheists” rely heavily on findings from
  the Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) in their campaign to disabuse the
  world of religion. How compelling are these arguments from Cognitive Scie
 nce? And if they are not so convincing\, are there still important things 
 to learn about religion from cognitive science? This talk will briefly rev
 iew the major claims about religious belief proffered by cognitive scienti
 sts and then evaluate\, in terms of both science and philosophy\, this res
 earch and the arguments based on it that some use to attempt to undermine 
 religious belief.
