Basing his argument on the understanding the term "religion" (which he calls a folk category) has a Euro-American bias, Saler (anthropology, Brandeis U.) offers a way to turn religion into an analytical category that has cross-cultural value.

For popular psychology writer David Weiner, "id" stands for "Inner Dummy," the part of the brain that we must come to understand if we are ever to know why we do foolish, irrational, and compulsive things.
