<p>Cognitive threats, which include disinformation, propaganda, cyberattacks, and psychological operations, exploit human cognition to destabilize states and undermine societal trust. Building resilience against these threats requires the integration of psychological, technological, and governance strategies. However, challenges such as complex information ecosystems, fragmented policies, limited public awareness, evolving threat vectors, and ethical constraints impede progress. This article defines cognitive threats, explores these challenges in depth, and proposes interdisciplinary solutions. Recommendations include increasing cognitive literacy, fostering cross-sector collaboration, leveraging adaptive technologies, and embedding resilience in governance frameworks. Religion plays an important role in promoting cognitive security. It enhances the cognitive potential of individuals, families, and society as a whole. It structures human cognition. Christianity, in particular, focuses on the search for truth. Religious communities also have significant cognitive potential. These communities shape value hierarchies, facilitate communication among their members, enable individuals’ recognition of their own possibilities and limitations, shape agency, encourage civic engagement, and build interpersonal trust. Thus, religion strengthens the cognitive competencies of individuals and communities. In this way, religion serves the cognitive security of society and the state.</p>
