Virology of Religion

Religions behave like viruses of the mind. They are everywhere, they infect most people, and they cause sufferings all around the world in predictable and regular basis. This book attempts to formalise the memetics foundation of religions. Religions are treated as biological phenomena that change the organisms they invade. This book explains why and how we can treat them from a biological point of view, what we might see if we dissect a typical religion, common components in most religions, their relationships with the hosts, and more.

If you are interested in memetics, are curious about some of the most prevalent meme systems in the world, i.e. religions, and want to apply a meme-centric framework to the biology of religion, you will find this book a solid reference to build upon.
