Psychology of Religion (Videos)


I'm trying to put together a resource page for videos on the psychology of religion. If you know of any relevant links, please provide them in the comments section. I'm looking for reasonably high quality material by reputable researchers. I am also interested in good documentaries on the psychology of cults or other religious groups.

This is my first shot at it. I will keep this updated.

Good introductory lecture.






2. Andy Thomson - We few, We happy few...
