Abstract
Neurotheology as a research program try to represent a new possibility for integrating science and religion, in a manner that the autonomous and relative independence of science and religion will be maintained and none of them won’t reduced to each others. Newberg as a important figure of this field, want to determine the positive effects of religious beliefs and rituals on healthy of body and psyche. He suggests that the mystical experience is the root of all religions and want to determine the relation between every component of mystical experience with mechanisms of brain by integrating of phenomenology and neuroscience. Newberg claims that the neurotheology can show how the theological concepts was formed. By philosophical analysis I will be noticed that he despite his claims, reduce religion to science and this result in a contradiction in his view and on the other side, he is within the metaphysical discourse.
