Psychology in Epistemological Skepticism

For the Online Philosophy Club:

I would like to say I really like the site and it's fourms.

I was wondering has anyone taken into account modern psychology with regards to epistemological skepticism?
Or is this an area that has not yet been tied in with philosophy?

There has been quite a bit of discussion in philosophy (and related circles) about whether religious belief (which can seem as the opposite of skepticism) is a hard-wired, natural (even inherent, or naturally-selected) aspect of human psychology.

Is this what you have in mind?

No sir, I was reffering to neuroscience, and how the brain operates; which is a kind of religion in itself is it not??

How do you define religion? Some would say that religion is faith based while neuroscience is fact based. In both cases inferences are made about, say, the nature of consciousness. Religion is free to make claims that cannot be verified empirically while neuroscience is obliged to make only those claims that can be proven or falsified through empirical methods.
