"Language and Religion offers an innovative theory of religion as a class of cultural representations, dependent on language to unify diverse capacities of the human mind. It argues that religion is widespread because it is implicit in the way the mind processes the world, as it determines what we ought to do, practically and morally, to achieve our goals. Focusing on the world religions, the book relates modern cognitive theories of language and communication to culture and its dissemination. It explains basic features of religion such as the supernatural, the normative, abstract and ideal theological concepts such as ‘God’, and religious feeling. It develops a linguistic theory, based on how utterances are understood, of metaphysical and moral ‘mysteries’ and their key role in thought and action. It shows how such concepts gain strength in the light of their successful use, and when tempered by criticism, can also have genuine authority."

"Pandangan Whorfian bahwa bahasa memengaruhi pikiran masih menunjukkan hasil pro dan kontra.

Whorfian view that language influences the thought still shows the results of pros and cons. This experimental study was conducted to examine the effect of language on thought through the event perception. The first independent variables in this study were languages with variations of Indonesian and English language groups. The second independent variable, is the type of event is given in the formof a paired image representation with variations of the same event of different actors or the same actors with different event. Participants were asked to make anassessment based on the similarity of the pair of type of events.

The researchers used a measuring and manipulating tool adapted from Boroditsky 2001. Instructions are given in Indonesian for Indonesian groups and English for English groups. Overall, the results of the study showed significantly higher meanvalues on different tense same actors DTSA images in English groups than Indonesian groups. The average value of the same tense different actor STDA English group was not significantly lower in the Indonesian language group. In this research there is no significant interaction effect between language groups with event perception."
