H. Allen Orr has written a very thoughtful review essay in the New Yorker (April 3, 2006, pp. 80-83) about recent attempts to study religion from a scientific point of view. He discusses the new book by Daniel Dennett Breaking the Spell: Religion as Natural Phenomenon, Rodney Stark and Roger Fink’s Acts of Faith (2000) and David Sloan Wilson’s Darwin’s Cathedral (2002).
