Hi, my name is Matt Miller and I am a senior at the University of South Carolina in the IIT Department.

According to Maslow in his pursuit of “peak experiences” he confronts religious traditions. Through his findings he believes that “religion is now receiving empirical support” and that “organized religion can be thought of as an effort to communicate peak-experiences to no-peakers”. Since this is his belief he believe that unless a religion performs this task it is self-defeating
