Taking religion seriously, whether religious or not, is a sign of respect for reality. Even more so bearing in mind that religion, like all great human experiences, is capable of the most eminent and the most deficient. This book wants to be a tribute to well-constituted religion and an antidote to degraded religion. Because a dignified, culturally compatible and intellectually qualified religious manifestation can be an interesting and suggestive reference of the eternal and difficult glimpse of God. Ramon Maria Nogués exposes -with clarity, agility and wisdom- subjects as varied as the role of the brain in religious experience, border situations between mysticism and pathology, the scientific status of religion, excessive criticism of religion, evolutionary value of beliefs, the most recent contributions of the neurorreligion, the challenge of religious pluralism, the contrast between spirituality and religion, religion and sex, the religious discrimination of women and the institutionalization of the sacred.
