Lane looks at the reasons why humans feel they are part of a religious group, despite often being removed from other group members by vast distances or multiple generations. To achieve this, Lane offers a new perspective that integrates religious studies with psychology, anthropology, and data science, as well as with research at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence (AI). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter providing a critical analysis of approaches to religion and social cohesion, Lane proposes a new model for religious studies, which he calls the \"Information Identity System.\" This model focuses on the idea of conceptual ties: links between an individual's self-concept and the ancient beliefs of their religious group. Lane explores this idea through real-world examples, ranging from the rise in global Pentecostalism, to religious extremism and self-radicalization, to the effect of 9\/11 on sermons. Lane uses this lens to show how we can understand religion and culture today, and how we can better contextualize the changes we see in the social world around us.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45088116441239,"sku":"9781350241312","price":3841.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350241312.webp?v=1767898990","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-religion-through-artificial-intelligence-bonding-and-belief-9781350241312","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
