| Abstract: | Enlarging on Justin Barrett's accounts of theism and atheism, this paper suggests that a hypothesized heritable biological factor plays a role in explaining distributions of theism and atheism across populations. Genetic variability in populations, it is argued, may give rise to differences in the sensitivity of the "hypersensitive agency detection device" (HADD). |
