Bruce M. Hood

Bruce M. Hood is a British psychologist and researcher who studies how our minds create a sense of self, belief, and morality. He explores why humans have religious beliefs, how children develop their understanding of the world, and what makes us think there's a higher power or purpose. His work combines psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy to understand the origins of human thinking and belief systems. Hood’s insights help explain popular questions about why we believe in things that can’t be seen or proven scientifically, illuminating the psychological roots of our worldview.
