I've no idea, but I find Dawkins' 'memes' to be the more interesting explanation. Feel a bit gloomy if our brains are made to be religious.

Not that simple tho. Michael Shermer's Believing Brain is very interesting on this.

Some people seem to be naturally immune. And for those of us who aren't, understanding thinking flaws is the way to avoid them.
