We Invented God

http://www.thestar.com/living/article/777439--god-is-all-in-your-head

There’s a new book out that explains what I’m sure many non-believers already suspected, that humans invented God.

“The human brain tries to explain the world around us, applying whatever it knows to develop a reasonable explanation for what it sees and experiences.
And for the things it can't explain, the brain simply fills in the holes with its own neat little invention, a new book says.
God.”

Sounds a lot like the “God of The Gaps” I think I’ll have to pick this book up. It would be nice to have a reference source to explain how religious belief came to be.
The book is titled God’s Brain
