Accepted codes of conduct and established religions are features of human societies throughout the world. Why should this be? In this 2003 book, biologist Donald Broom argues that these aspects of human culture have evolved as a consequence of natural selection; that morally acceptable behaviour benefits the humans and other animals and that a principal function of religion is to underpin and encourage such behaviour. The author provides biological insights drawn especially from work on animal behaviour and presents ideas and information from the fields of philosophy and theology to produce a thought-provoking, interdisciplinary treatment. Scientists who read this book will gain an appreciation of the wider literature on morality and religion, and non-scientists will benefit from the author's extensive knowledge of the biological mechanisms underlying the behaviour of humans and other social animals

Treating fertility problems of Serbia 's populations, authors neglected religious affiliation. But it is very important. Because, facts shows that in terms of the same economic conditions different religious groups have different birthrate .It is obvious that Muslim population leads in the number of births. But the situation is similar with other religious communities if we speak about people with strong faith. Those facts make significant political and demographic consequences . That's why researchers have to pay more attention to this problem. ; U obradi problema nataliteta u Srbiji se religijska pripadnost stanovništava nije dovoljno uzimala u obzir. A to je veoma važno. Zato što se pokazuje da u uslovima istih ekonomskih uslova života različite verske grupe imaju različitu stopu rađanja.Jasno se vidi da muslimanska populacija prednjači u broju rađanja. Ali je slična situacija i kod drugih verskih zajednica kada se radi o stvarno religioznim ljudima.Te činjenice ostavljaju značajne političke i demografske posledice i zato bi nauka morala da im posveti daleko više pažnje.

Das Verhältnis von Religion und Politik schien lange vergessen oder verdrängt. Es wird erst in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten wieder intensiver erforscht. Das wachsende Interesse an Religion und Politik ist auch Ausgangspunkt für diesen Band, der das symbiotische Verhältnis von Politik und Religion in Deutschland analysiert. Dabei wird die Rolle der beiden Volkskirchen zwischen Säkularisierung und Wiederkehr des Religiösen genauso behandelt, wie das Aufkommen von anderen Religionsgemeinschaften oder die Bedeutung des Islams für die deutsche Gesellschaft und das politische System.

Contains various articles on spiritual development among adolescents, spiritual transcendence, Jung and pastoral counseling and spirituality and religiosity. This book also includes a section of nine articles which is devoted to several aspects of positive psychology and its usage in practice

The article aims to answer the question whether philosophy of religion can fulfil its research goals, that is discover the essence of religion, find out if any one of them (and, if need be, which one) is true and if faith and religious behavior are rational. In the face of a multitude of religions it is difficult to point to any common elements which makes it harder (if not impossible) to discover the essence of religion. Trying to prove the consistency of the concept of God as an object of religion and either His/Her existence or non-existence faces similar problems; this makes it impossible to conclusively decide whether religion is true or not. Therefore, it is also difficult to settle whether religious faith (or lack thereof) is rational or irrational. However, this failure does not deny the cognitive value of philosophy of religion, which can analyze various religious doctrines as it relates to their consistency, truthfulness, or the rationality of following them.

[ES] La religión ha sido abordada por numerosos autores desde ópticas muy diferentes. A principios del siglo XX Max Weber evaluó el impacto de la religión en la acumulación económica distinguiendo para ello entre católicos y protestantes, encontrando relevante esta distinción porque permitía explicar capacidades diferentes para estimular el crecimiento económico. A pesar de estos aportes, han sido escasos los trabajos realizados en perspectiva comparada en el ámbito latinoamericano en los últimos años, teniendo en cuenta este bajo número de publicaciones uno estaría tentado a concluir que el tema tiene poca relevancia. Sin embargo este hecho esté quizás relacionado con la escasez de datos fiables sobre el tema. Por esta razón el objetivo de este boletín es ofrecer un análisis comparado de los vínculos existentes entre Religión y Política en América Latina, para ello se cuenta con la información del Proyecto de Elites Parlamentarias Latinoamericanas (PELA) de la Universidad de Salamanca que nos permite abordar esta temática con datos fiables desde 1994 en adelante sobre las opiniones y percepciones de los parlamentarios sobre este aspecto ; [EN] Religion has been addressed by many authors from very different lenses. In the early twentieth century Max Weber evaluated the impact of religion on economic accumulation for this distinction between Catholics and Protestants, relevant finding helps to explain this distinction because different abilities to stimulate economic growth. Despite these contributions, few studies have been made in comparative perspective within Latin America in recent years, given the low number of publications, one is tempted to conclude that the issue has little relevance. However, this fact is perhaps related to the scarcity of reliable data on the subject. For this reason the purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of the linkages between religion and politics in Latin America, this will have the information of the Latin American Parliamentary Elites Project (PELA), University of Salamanca, which allows us to address this issue with reliable data from 1994 onwards on the views and perceptions of parliamentarians on this issue
