Two very important books shed further light on why most humans
seem to have a need for "religiosity" in its numerous forms:
* Wings of Illusion
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0879756241/qid=935359080/sr=1-3/002-
8544952-6361852>
* The Corruption of Reality
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0879759356/qid=935359080/sr=1-1/002-
8544952-6361852>
by John Shumaker

I have covered a small part of this territory in The "Unreality Imperative"
<http://www.buildfreedom.com/psychology/unreality_imperative.html>,
but still have to flesh it out considerably.
