“Anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse thinks too much talk about religion is based on loose conjecture and simplistic explanations. Whitehouse directs the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University. For years he’s been collaborating with scholars around the world to build a massive body of data that grounds the study of religion in science.”

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The "invention" of religion. I love it! Been using that term for many years. Religion - It's complicated.
The beginning of a discussion is fun and interesting. Many times it ends with each fighter returning to their corner and agreeing to disagree. That's if you're talking with a religious person/believer. With a non-believer I tend to question why are we even having this chat.
It's a good article and I have bookmarked it for future reference!!
