Welcome

I am a social psychologist, and (sometimes…) theologian and philosopher. My research interests mainly revolve around religion, and especially psychological and evolutionary theories of religion, and the philosophical and theological issues involved in the scientific study of religion.

This website presents some of my academic and popular work, and offers various resources for free (including measurement instruments like the Supernatural Belief Scale and the Existential Death Anxiety Scale and access to datasets).

My professional services as an interdisciplinary research consultant may also be contracted here.
