Abstract

Religious believers experience a range of emotions in their religious lives (Kim-Prieto & Diener, 2009; Roberts, 2007; Whitehouse, 2004). Some religious practices create intense feelings of joy and love (Malinar & Basu, 2007; Martin & Runzo, 2007). Other religious practices cause fear and pain (Alcorta & Sosis, 2005; Jackson, 2007; Whitehouse, 2007). Why does religion inspire such a diversity of affect?
