Some Criteria to Consider on the Name of Scientific Objectivity While Approaching the Objective and Subjective Religious Reality Areas of the Religious Psychologist

Psychology, which lasted for many years under the roof of Philosophy, became an independent discipline when Wundt founded his first psychology laboratory in 1879. This independence is not enough to be a branch of science like physics, which psychology desires because it expresses spiritual sciences as a concept. For this reason, modern psychology has pushed her out of her main field of study because of the metaphysical nature of the concept of soul. Modern psychology has not only made the concept of soul the subject of study as visible or measurable features of human but has also excluded religious subjects from the study area with the claim that it is against scientificness. This situation led to the rejection of the fields of objective religious reality and subjective religious reality, which are the main subjects of the study of religion, on the grounds that it cannot be the subject of scientific research. The objective of this study is to discuss the approach of the approach of the religion psychologist to the objective religious reality, the subjective religious reality, and subjective religious meaning.
