The cognitive science of religion is a developing subdiscipline of the cognitive sciences which aim at providing the natural explanation of religion by indicating mental tools responsible for the acceptance of religious beliefs. The main goal of this study is to assess the impact of the rapid development of sciences on human religiosity with the use of the conceptual means offered by the cognitive science of religion. Also, a discussion of the role of the models of supernaturality is carried out with the indication that their introduction may be of great assistance in substantiating the outcomes of the cognitive treatment of religiosity. Possible responses to the impact of sciences on religiosity are surveyed.
