God in the Frontier (Episode 10) - Sifting Through The Burned Over District (Part 2)

Is there a universal message between all religions? What exactly is an epiphany and why do so many religious movements seem to begin with one? Why do some religions flourish while others fail? Is God picking and choosing or is there something else going on here? Perhaps its worth exploring more deeply into the role of the brain and its evolution in all of this. Very well-known cognitive processes appear to play a role in religious development - but how much? Today we explore how epiphanies, projection, transference, Dunbar's number, and a good supernatural story help construct every single person's worldview, and therefore impact religious belief.
