When a psychologist uses the term "religiosity", they don't mean "belief in God". When a neuroscientist makes a "God helmet", his tongue is firmly in his cheek.

When a psychologist uses the term "religiosity", they don't mean "belief in God". When a neuroscientist makes a "God helmet", his tongue is firmly in his cheek. And, when an anthropologist is quoted making psychological arguments, the journalist couldn't find a developmental psychologist to support their thesis. I'll agree that a sort of naturalistic spiritualism is innate in some people, especially children (one's grasp of reality develops much later than one's imagination), and the human brain does tend to think rather superstitiously. But, it's a big leap to say "we are born to believe in God".
