| | Psychology of religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Psychology of religion is psychology's theory of religious experiences and beliefs. | | | More recently, this distinction has been encapsulated in the terms "intrinsic religion", referring to a genuine, heartfelt devout faith, and "extrinsic religion", referring to a more utilitarian use of religion as a means to an end, such as church attendance to gain social status. | | | In contrast, immature religion is self-serving and generally represents the negative stereotypes that people have about religion. |

| | Psychology of Religion |
| | Religion as end is seen in people who treat religion as an end in and of itself, and who live their religion as opposed to using it — in other words, Allport’s intrinsic religious orientation. | | | But today’s psychology of religion tends to be functional, meaning that we don’t care about the truth of religion, and don’t see this as an empirical question. | | | First of all, I should start by saying that as a discipline the psychology of religion is agnostic, meaning that it starts with no assumptions and claims to have no insights into things like the truth or accuracy of religion, the existence of God, or the relative value of one religion over another. |

| | Psychology - Science or Religion? |
| | Psychology is a subtle and widespread leaven in the Church. | | | Whenever psychology is intermingled with Scripture, it dilutes the Word and deludes the Church. | | | In contrast to Jung, Sigmund Freud reduced all religious beliefs to the status of illusion and called religion "the obsessional neurosis of humanity." He viewed religion as delusionary and, therefore, evil and the source of mental problems. |

| | Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology: Religion and psychology |
| | The study of religion and psychology began in the early twentieth century, but faded before it was revived in the 1980s, when the American Psychological Association began to formally investigate aspects of religion in psychology. | | | Modern psychologists actively pursue the interrelationship between religion and psychology and note that just as religion influences human existence, human perceptions also influence the practice of religion. | | | Sigmund Freud, who called religion an "illusion," nonetheless studied religion with great interest, and wrote three books and some papers on his studies of how religion impacted human lives. |

| | Syllabus for Psychology of Religion |
| | Considering the prevalence of religious beliefs and the importance of religion as a meaning system that can shape every aspect of people's lives, the relative neglect of the study of religion in academia and particularly in psychology is surprising (see Emmons, 1999 for a review). | | | Hunsburger, B. Religion and prejudice: The tole of religious fundamentalism, quest, and right-wing authoritarianism. | | | It illuminates the processes through which religion as a meaning system impacts individuals and societies, the positive and negative ways in which religion has influenced individual and societal well-being and the resiliency of religion despite globalization and modernization. |

| | Huston Smith: The Psychology of Religious Experience |
| | Well, like any term religion can be defined as one wishes, and if one links it to institutions, I think religious institutions are indispensable, but they're clearly a mixed bag, and we've had the wars of religions; but I tend to think this is the nature of institutions and people in the aggregate. | | | But the aspect of religion that has to do with virtues and compassion and loving-kindness, now, this kind of thing is when I speak of profundity, getting into those waters. | | | But I think I would want to say that that's not the only dimension, because religion is not simply an experience; religion is a way of life. |
