Why is it important?
In our current technological world, algorithms and computers are used for almost everything. This paper outlines and defends the use of computers to study religion in the most up-to-date ways available.
Perspectives

It combines a discussion of current computer modeling techniques with a fairly traditional approach to understanding religion through carefully thought out correspondence between method, theory, and data.
