In Cryonet #32223, David Stodolsky references Gregory S. Paul's paper, "The 
Chronic Dependence of Popular Religiosity upon Dysfunctional Psychosociological 
Conditions."

Paul also has a website:

The Science of Religion

http://gspaulscienceofreligion.com/


And you can listen to him on a couple of freethought-related talkshows where he 
discusses his research. Paul also advocates universal health coverage in the 
U.S. as the next step in the dereligionizing process:

and,

Paul's findings apparently support the Enlightenment era's conjectures about the
causes of "bad religion," and how certain modernizing forces would tend to make
it go away.
