    This article presents a rational and philosophical rebuttal to Zindler’s thesis, which attempts to frame religion as a form of hypnotic suggestion. I find it important because it challenges the common conflation between conscious faith and unconscious psychological influence. It restores the idea of religious belief as a reflective, intentional act—not a passive trance. A valuable read for anyone interested in the philosophy of religion and collective consciousness.
