Abstract (2. Language): 
This chapter discusses how religious belief emerges as a byproduct of ‘highly structured’ systems, or preexisting adapta-tions in the social world. It starts by presenting evidence that ar-gues that the universals of religion exist because of the general habits of the human mind: The thought of having ‘agents and de-signers’ of everything, and having a common sense on dualism that bodies and souls are distinct. It further explains the implications of these habits of thinking.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu yazı dini inancın ‘yüksek yapılı’ sistemlerin bir yan ürünü ya da önceden varolan uyarlamalar olarak toplumsal dünyada nasıl or-taya çıktıklarını tartışmaktadır. Yazı, insan zihninin genel alışkan-lıkları yüzünden dinin evrensellerinin varolduğunu iddia eden kanı-tın sunulmasıyla başlar: Her şeyin ‘etkenleri ve tasarımcıları” oldu-ğu düşüncesi ile bedenler ve ruhların ayrı olduğu şeklindeki düa-lizm konusunda bir ortak duyuya sahip olma düşüncesi. Yazı ayrıca bu düşünme alışkanlıklarının birbirine karştırılmalarını da açıkla-maktadır.
