Abstract
The role of group selection in the evolution of religion cannot be properly understood without carefully distinguishing cultural group selection from genetic group selection. Moreover, the concept of cultural group selection itself is often misunderstood, because a proper understanding of it requires a correct and fairly detailed understanding of the dual-inheritance theory of cultural evolution in general. Accordingly, my aim in this chapter is to explain the role of group selection in religion by situating it within the more general commitments of dual-inheritance theory.
