Psychology & Neuroscience Asked on July 29, 2020
Does any branch of psychology study scientifically what traditionally, outside a scientific perspective has been called spiritually? In the same way people of ancient times considered voices in the head to be demons and we today consider that a mental issue related to schizophrenia.
Could the spirituality of other be the positive thinking, empathy, or any other aspect – empirically studied – of the mind?
Maybe what you are looking for is the field cognitive science of religion:
