Psychology of Religion.

Psychology of Religion studies how religious beliefs and practices influence human behavior, thoughts, and emotions. It explores how faith shapes moral values and ethical decision-making, often intersecting with moral psychology. This field examines why people are drawn to religious experiences, how spirituality affects mental health, and how group dynamics in religious communities foster social cohesion and moral standards. By analyzing these interactions, psychologists gain insights into the role of religion in individual identity and societal norms, helping to understand the complexities of human behavior related to morality and spirituality.
