Glossolalia is actually a fascinating subject. It’s like the faithful trying to hack into the part of the brain that produces religious experiences, which is the same part targeted by LSD, Ayahuasca, E, etc, but without chemicals. I expect there are other aspects of shared worship and ritual like chanting that tap into something.
Yeah there’s also meditation, prayer, fasting, and flagellation as religious practices that hack the brain. You should look into Chaos Magic, it’s a bunch of nerds who believe in science trying to use religion to do weird stuff to their brains.
