The Process of Belief is the twelfth
studio album by the American
punk rock band
Bad Religion. It was produced by its leaders
Greg Graffin and
Brett Gurewitz, and was released on January 22, 2002 through
Epitaph Records. After touring in support of its previous full-length studio album,
The New America (2000), Gurewitz rejoined Bad Religion in 2001 after a seven-year hiatus. The band re-signed with Epitaph, and then began work on its first album for the label in over eight years. The album also marked the first album to feature
Brooks Wackerman, who replaced former drummer
Bobby Schayer.
