Veien og målet : en empirisk analyse av en pilegrimsvandring i dagens Norge
2010
Masteroppgave i religion- Universitetet i Agder 2010 I den senere tid har fokuset på pilegrimsvandringer økt. Dette er ikke lenger bare en religiøs bevegelse, men også offentlige myndigheter har interesser her, og har vært aktører i debatter og diskusjoner om hva som bør satses på. Flere pilegrimsleder blir gjenåpnet, og mange mennesker melder seg på pilegrimsvandringer. Den mest kjente pilegrimsleden i Europa er Santiago de Compostela i Nord-Spania.

How to Survive the Anthropocene: Adaptive Atheism and the Evolution of Homo deiparensis
2015
Published version of an article from the journal: Religions. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel6020724 Why is it so easy to ignore the ecological and economic crises of the Anthropocene? This article unveils some of the religious biases whose covert operation facilitates the repression or rejection of warnings about the consequences of extreme climate change and excessive capitalist consumption. The evolved defaults that are most relevant for our purposes here have to do with mental credulity toward religious content (beliefs about supernatural agents) and with social congruity in religious contexts (behaviors shaped by supernatural rituals). Learning how to co…
