I know in my heart, There is no God

Many people claim to have personal relationship with God that allows them to know, ‘in their hearts’, that God is real. In this talk, Richard Firth-Godbehere will use psychology and the history of emotions to show that most people’s understanding of what emotions are is wrong, and that the very idea of God being felt ‘in the heart’ is an overhang from history. Instead, these feelings are part of our tendency to project an ‘essence’ onto external objects and our deep, innate need to belong.
