Abstract
The study of religious experience and its features has been one of the most important issues in the history of philosophy of religion. Recent scientific researchers have shown that some factors like music and meditation have a great influence on religious experience. This article is first going to count these factors thoroughly and then study their influence on everyday life. Finally, the impact of scientific researches on philosophers’ understanding of religious experience is addressed. The research result of this article is hoped to open a new chapter in the scientific study of religious experience.
