Faith exists in the liminal space between knowledge and mystery, often persisting despite contradictions and unanswered questions. The Unreasonableness of Faith examines this phenomenon – why do intelligent people maintain beliefs that logic cannot fully support? From religious devotion to political ideologies, faith provides meaning and community, even when it conflicts with empirical evidence.

This exploration doesn’t seek to debunk faith but to understand its psychological and cultural power. Neuroscience reveals how belief satisfies our brain’s craving for certainty, while anthropology shows its role in binding societies together. Yet faith also divides, inspiring both sublime compassion and horrific violence.

At Unreasonableness of Faith, we examine these paradoxes through interdisciplinary lenses – cognitive science, philosophy, theology, and history. How does faith evolve in an age of artificial intelligence and genetic engineering? Can secular societies replicate faith’s benefits without its dogmas?

Join us in probing these boundaries between reason and revelation. Whether you’re a devout believer, committed skeptic, or curious observer, you’ll find thoughtful perspectives that challenge easy assumptions about the nature and value of belief.

Our mission isn’t to promote or attack belief, but to illuminate why humans consistently embrace ideas beyond logical proof.
