This week I speak with philosopher and theologian, LeRon Shults, about why and how gods are born and borne in human cultures throughout history.

LeRon is Professor of Theology and Philosophy at the University of Agder, Norway, the author of Theology After the Birth of God: Atheist Conceptions in Cognition and Culture, and a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for the Bio-Cultural Study of Religion.

Visit LeRon's website, www.leronshults.com, for more information about his work, links to his books for sale, and several papers which he has written, available for free under "Free Downloads."

Read LeRon's paper, "How to Survive the Anthropocene: Adaptive Atheism and the Evolution of Homo deiparensis," here:
