Our cognitive faculties evolved to help us detect agents in our
environment and to predict the content of their minds but those
same faculties also generate beliefs in supernatural minds and
divine agents. While this seems to suggest that religious
intuitions are untrustworthy by-products of ordinary cognitive
processes, Cognitive psychologists like Justin Barrett argue the
existence of these "god-faculties" in the brain should not make the
atheist more comfortable with their skepticism. In fact, Barrett
believes they actually provide a defeater for atheism.
