Humanseven those who consider themselves secular or atheistsare utterly seduced by supernatural beliefs. Clay Routledge, an experimental social psychologist who grew up in a deeply religious environment, argues that belief or trust in forces beyond our understanding is natural and rooted in our fears of death. In Supernatural: Death, Meaning, and the Power of the Invisible World, Routledge argues that supernatural thinking is adaptive, even healthy, and
that it should unite and not divide us.

"Supernatural is a book of apparent contradictions, insightfully reconciled. In this clear and compelling book, Clay Routledge shows us how science can help us to understand religion, how supernatural beliefs come naturally to us, and how our lives are shaped by our deaths." -- Jonathan Jong, Ph.D., Research Fellor and Deputy Director of the Brain, Belief, and Behavior Group, Centre for Advances in Behavioural Sciences, Coventry University "This book makes a compelling case that supernatural interests and beliefs are a natural and, for the most part, healthy part of human life, and that even those who do not consider themselves believers are often drawn to the supernatural in their efforts to find meaning in life." -- Harold G. Koenig, M.D., Director, Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health, Duke University
