I did take it that way. I think it is sometimes done as a tool of religious drama, especially when a religious leader uses it to impress his or her followers. But it is also done in private for other reasons. I'm interested in the non-cognitive components of these private uses.

I don't think there's any evidence that Jesus spoke in tongues.
