Naturalistic study of religion

Daniel Dennett calls for the naturalistic study of religion.  I'm all for it, if by "natural" you mean the natural capacity of human beings to look for the infinite.  I propose that -- before you do a naturalistic analysis of religion -- you do that sort of analysis of mathematics.  In particular, give an account of how, when you know a number or equation, you can know that someone else at a different place and time cab be aware of the same number/equation/and of its unchanging truth.  Once you've given an adequate account of this, you might be ready to ponder religion's quest for a being most perfect and all knowing.
