520 |a The interplay between society, culture, and religion has significantly shaped humanity throughout history. This article explores interdisciplinary theories that highlight how religion and society are interconnected within a biological framework. Recent advances in cognitive science and neuroscience have prompted a deeper examination of religion’s adaptive value regarding survival and reproduction. Religious beliefs have been proposed as mechanisms for maintaining social norms and fostering cohesion. Neuroscience examines how religiosity relates to brain function. Patrick McNamara suggests that religion acts as a neurotool facilitating social cohesion and self-transformation. The article emphasizes that religious factors must be considered in societal structures, as religion is deeply embedded not only in human culture, but also in human biology.
