Imagination the Cause Of Religion

An article in the New Scientist Reported about how human imagination may be the underlying cause of religion.

The previous theory said that social bonding was the culprit, but this may only be a side effect.

“We had to evolve the necessary brain architecture to imagine things and beings that don’t physically exist, and the possibility that people somehow live on after they’ve died.”
