About The Book: "The Making of Religion" by Andrew Lang explores the origins and development of religious belief through anthropology, psychology, and comparative mythology. Lang challenges the then-dominant materialist and evolutionary theories, arguing that early human spirituality shows traces of a higher spiritual awareness.
