Over the past several years a number of studies have been published
which purport to show the psychological benefits of religious
belief. These studies are often plagued by shoddy design,
inadequate controls and overreliance on self-report data--yet even
the most careful skeptics can overlook these mistakes. For this
episode Dr. Galen explains 10 of the most common errors to watch
for in psychology of religion research. Also, for this episode we
examine contradictions in the story of Judas, the disciple who
betrayed Jesus, and we take a look at Thor for another polyatheism
segment.
