Some young people feel religion is outdated, conservative, hostile, problematic, and institutional. Spirituality, however, is viewed as a more comforting and "customizable" personal practice. @TeenVogue @BucarLiz teenvogue.com/story/spiritua…
We want to hear from you! CMAC is studying spiritual-but-not-religious rituals and how groups use them to form community and create meaning. DM us if you are an SBNR practitioner who develops, adapts, and/or officiates novel ritual practices.
The BU #AI Task Force has released a report on Generative AI in Education and Research. We spoke with the two task force cochairs, @WesleyWildman and @YPaschalidis, about the new report and its recommendations. Keep reading ➡️spr.ly/6011wt2bP
Since the 1960s, the % of Canadians who believe in an afterlife has been relatively stable. But, the way people define the afterlife itself is changing. It is important to capture this nuance in survey data so we can better understand religious change. winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/…

Fascinating new study on religious disaffiliation in the US. 67% of respondents reported they left their religion because they stopped believing in the teachings. Only 9% said they were "looking for a religion that would be right for [them]." prri.org/research/relig… @PRRIpoll
Have you developed a nonreligious ritual for yourself or others? We are searching for spiritual-but-not-religious ritual practitioners who have developed, adapted, and/or officiated novel ritual practices. DM us to get in touch. Learn more at uncommonrituals.com
"With their ability to identify subtle linguistic patterns within vast quantities of text... the bots can theoretically synthesize spiritual insights in a matter of seconds, saving users both time and energy. It’s divine wisdom on demand." scientificamerican.com/article/the-go…
This is a great opportunity for PhD students! Applications due April 12 ⏰
CMAC has re-evaluated how to focus our research & amplify impact. We need a revolution of mind & spirit. Our Board has voted to merge w/ Wildheart Evolution to form a new kind of nonprofit: Just Horizons Alliance fuses innovative, prosocial research with expansive spirituality.
Secularization theory suggests that Americans became much less religious during the 20th century, and this will continue into the future. Yet the data is conflicted. So, what did happen and what is happening now? medium.com/modeling-relig… @ReligiousChange
A new @ReligiousChange article presents our DIM-R dataset, which integrates religious measurements in international surveys, enabling comparisons across cultures and over time. The dataset can help address questions in the scientific study of religion. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Our affiliates at @WildhousePubs are hiring a Publicist. The role will be responsible for selling books, amplifying stories, and joining with like-minded souls to get our authors’ work into the hands of readers worldwide. wildhousepublishing.com/about/#Opportu…
A 2014 study found 88% of Hospice patients reported end-of-life visions, which often center on deceased relatives and provide the patient with a sense of solace. Those who had visions were likely to experience spiritual growth, even in their final days. nytimes.com/2024/03/12/mag…
How REM sleep is like a human superpower 😴 Featuring neuroscientist Patrick McNamara
I was one of the authors in a new article just published in Religion, Brain, & Behavior with a major new integrated dataset that will be of use to a wide variety of scholars of religion. @WesleyWildman leronshultsblog.com/2024/03/05/new…
An upcoming book from CMACers @WesleyWildman and @leronshults asks what civilizational transformations are possible when the significance of religion continues to decline wherever technology, education, freedom, and cultural pluralism are most advanced. bloomsbury.com/uk/modeling-re…
2. Do our dreams influence how we relate to god(s)? Cognitive Neuroscience of Religious Cognition is developing a computational model of the dreaming mind to predict how dreams/nightmares impact relationships with (supernatural) others. cognitiveneuroscienceofreligion.org @MindandCulture
Related projects from @MindandCulture: 1. As religious affiliation declines, the spiritual but not religious (SBNRs) are increasing. Ritual for the Nonreligious will engage SBNR and “none” practitioners who develop or adapt new ritual practices. mindandculture.org/projects/quant…
Network observations are fundamentally interdependent, which violates independence assumptions used in standard stats models. In this tutorial, Prof. Gondal will introduce statistical models that can be used to analyze network data. Lunch will be provided @BUsociologydept @BU_CDS
