Division 36 of the American Psychological Association, Psychology of Religion, brings together psychologists who recognize the significance of religion both in the lives of people and in the discipline of psychology. The division is nonsectarian. Membership and division activities are open to members of all faiths as well as to those who are not religiously affiliated or do not profess a particular personal faith commitment.
Division 36 seeks a broad dialogue on religion with all the areas of the social sciences.
This area is one of the oldest in psychology; research on religious development and experience was conducted over a century ago, and both William James and G. Stanley Hall were leading psychologists of religion. Division 36 is working to re-establish the scientific psychology of religion to the respected status it once held so firmly in our discipline.
