Abstract Religious beliefs within cognitive science of religion (CSR) are interpreted as a natural phenomenon which is a result of cognitive biases. Alleged cognitive effortlessness of religious beliefs is associated with cognition which strictly correlates with specific religious or overall ?supernatural? contents. However, it seems that the role played by cognition in the process of acquisition of religious beliefs is not able to explain their origin and transmission. Acquisition of religious beliefs is a domain of the impact of cultural inputs and particular pragmatic usefulness of religious beliefs. Rational background may be more important than an intuitive one for the development of religious beliefs. Here the intention is to show that religious beliefs are a domain of the rational route to action and the impact of culture more than a domain of intuitiveness.
