Cognitive science meets religion

this is an odd feeling for me. Two fields colliding, but I'm oddly dubious about it. I'll enjoy reading it, though.

I have some hope for this venture as they have anthropologists on-board whereas some prior efforts to merge psychology and anthropology/history, much like biology, have tended toward vulgar determinism. (Cough psychohistory cough) Now if they get Scott Atran and Harvey Whitehouse on board, that would be pretty damn awesome.
