What are some good books about the psychology of religion? I genuinely feel like I'm going insane sometimes when I see so many people here defending religions like Christianity. I mean it is so obviously wrong that all you need to debunk the bible is a high school tier understanding of science and history. Why do so many people delude themselves into believing in something that is objectively wrong and can be disproven with a google search?

>"enlightened" atheists cannot begin to engage in discussion of Logos Theology

Postmodern Christians, eg. Peterson, and the like you see on this board are symptoms of the decline of a civilization, which is a natural phenomena. All the great civilizations of world history fade away.

You don't need to worry yourself too much about them OP because they are just as atheistic as the rest of us. Their brains are literally incapable, same as ours, of the sheer blind required to be a real christian.

They are mere cowardly herd animals who are existentially desperate to find a herd, any herd, to blend into.
