The Making of Religion, authored by Andrew Lang and first published in 1898, is a scholarly examination of the origins of religious belief. Lang critiques established anthropological theories regarding spirit belief and the evolution of the concept of a Supreme Being, advocating for an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates insights from both anthropology and psychology. He challenges the notion that spirit beliefs solely arise from human experiences related to dreams and death, suggesting that visions and hallucinations also play a significant role in shaping spirituality and religious concepts throughout history.
