Why we believe in God(s)

An excellent talk by psychiatrist Dr. Andy Thomson

"We are risen apes- not fallen angels."
"If you understand the psychology of a Big Mac meal you understand the psychology  of religion."
"Half of all 4 year-olds have imaginary friends."
"We are on the threshold of a comprehensive cognitive neuroscience of religious belief."
