The author invites the reader to examine how personal history, social factors, and religious experience itself shape the infinite ways of being religious or not. Through a critical lens, he explores the fatigue of traditional religious institutions and the rise of unstructured movements, as well as the psychological implications of spirituality without religion. An essential text for understanding the complex relationship between the individual, society, and the sacred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the need to provide a rationale for our beliefs and unbeliefs from a dual perspective: the psychological and the sociological. Díaz examines how personal biography, social environment, and cultural context mold religious stances. The validity of major religions is analyzed in the face of growing institutional fatigue, which gives way to more diffuse and unstructured forms of religiosity. Furthermore, an interesting reflection on mental health is presented, noting that people who define themselves as spiritual but not religious may be more prone to anxiety and depression disorders compared to those who maintain a structured religious practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePsychology of belief and unbelief.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSociology of religious institutions and their crisis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between spirituality, religiosity, and mental health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNew unstructured religious movements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInfluence of personal and social history on religious experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals in psychology, sociology, and the philosophy of religion, as well as any reader interested in understanding the mechanisms that underlie contemporary religious and spiritual positions.
