Does anyone have any interest and or experience in the psychology or sociology of religion? I am trying to narrow down my research interests in order to select specific graduate programs to apply to for my masters. However, I really don't know if I am best suited to study religion psychologically or sociologically.
My honours undergraduate degree and thesis was done in the sociology of religion, but I have 36 credits in psychology courses and 24 are upper-level courses (i.e., I have completed enough psychology to have a major in it). I am interested in why human beings are religious and essentially what it does for them. I seem to find myself somewhat more interested in religions effect on individuals than on society? Also, I am interested in how human beings became religious in the first place (i.e., what made ancient homo sapiens look to the sky and identify God's/Goddesses and the afterlife).
Does anyone know what types of programs I should be applying to?:) This is sort of a weird question because it is my responsibility... but just thought I would ask
