http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Sociology_of_religion

Extractions: The sociology of religion is primarily the study of the practices, social structures historical backgrounds , development, universal themes, and roles of religion in society . There is particular emphasis on the recurring role of religion in nearly all societies on Earth today and throughout recorded history. Sociologists of religion attempt to explain the effects of society on religion and the effects of religion on society; in other words, their dialectical relationship. Historically, sociology of religion was of central importance to sociology, with early seminal figures such as Émile Durkheim , and Max Weber writing extensively on the role of religion in society. Today, sociologists have broadened their areas of interest, and for many religion is no longer considered key to the understanding of society. However, many others continue to study the role of religion, particularly New Religious Movements, both for the individual and as it affects our increasingly multi-cultural society. In order to establish a world of peace, harmony among religions is essential. Sociology of religion is a field that should have much to contribute to the understanding necessary to advance such a world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociology_of_Religion_(book)

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Sociology of Religion is a 1920 book by Max Weber , a German economist and sociologist . The original edition was in German. Max Weber studied the effects of religious action and inaction. Instead of viewing religion as an " opiate of the people ," or as a method of promoting a moral society , Weber simply categorized different religions in order to fully understand religion's subjective meaning to the individual ( Verstehen By viewing religion strictly in the scientific sense, Weber was striving for objectivity, attempting to ignore value judgments, and to understand religion as those human responses that give meaning to the inescapable problems of existence, such as birth, death, illness, aging, injustice, tragedy, and suffering. In The Sociology of Religion , Weber proposes that people pursue their own goals, and that religion facilitates that. He shows how early religious beliefs stem from the work of skillful, charismatic individuals, and how their actions are eventually transformed into a systematic, church-based religion - in other words, how religion begins with charismatic authority and is transformed into traditional authority Because religion enables people to pursue their interests, Weber believed that religion actually gave rise to the spread of modern

Extractions: From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection Sociology of Religion This page may need to be reviewed for quality. Jump to: navigation search Sociologists have been theorizing about religion since the inception of sociology. The earliest and still most commonly used theorem in the sociology of religion is the secularization paradigm. The name was borrowed from the Catholic Church that has used the term “secular” since the dark ages to describe priests working outside religious orders. It gained new meaning in sociology where it began to describe the idea of a decline and negation of religion (Beckford 2003). Casanova (1994) has argued that: 'The secularization theory may be the only theory which was able to attain a truly paradigmatic status within the modern social sciences. In one form or another … the thesis of secularization was shared by all founding fathers: from Karl Marx to John Stuart Mill, from August Comte to Herbert Spencer, from E. B. Taylor to James Frazer, from Ferdinand Toennies to George Simmel, from Emile Durkheim to Max Weber…' (p.17) Secularization theory can be traced back to Saint-Simon (1975) who argued that association between church and state had gone through three stages. In ancient Greece and Rome, religion and state were ruled by the same class, which resulted in the interlocking of the two. In medieval times, these two became distinctly separate institutions, with the church being the predominant one. In recent times, the state has become the stronger of the two (Saint-Simon 1975).

http://www.aarweb.org/syllabus/syllabi/b/blanchard/SYO_4200_Sociology_of_Religio

Extractions: COURSE DESCRIPTION This course seeks to introduce undergraduate students to the nature and functions of religious beliefs and institutions in modern societies, with a primary emphasis on conditions in the contemporary United States. Throughout the course, a distinctively sociological perspective is employed to evaluate claims about the viability of religion in what has come to be called a "post-traditional," "post-Christian" or "post-modern" world. As today it appears that there is a religious resurgence, how does one account for the notable absence of religious values as animating forces outside the private lives of individuals? If this is indeed this is a secular society, what explains recent rapid growth in the memberships of conservative religious bodies or the high levels of interest in non-Western spiritual practices such as Yoga, Zen, and Islam (the fastest growing religion in the U.S.)not to mention a global resurgence of religious fundamentalisms? Has America shed religion just in time (for, some would contend, belief today is a major handicap in the development of a real understanding of the world's predicaments), or is this nation only now beginning to realize the dangers of a society bereft of the collective purpose symbolized in religious communality? If this is a secular society, how do we explain the role of the Moral Majority or the Christian Coalition?

Extractions: About Deathless questions Notes from the field off the cuff ... posted by Stephen C. Poulson Recently, Levitt, Bender, Cadge and Smilde have argued that scholarship in the sociology of religion might become less “parochial” and less “Christo-centric.” I am skeptical of both of these assertions. In fact, I recently published (with Colin Campbell) an article in the March issue of The American Sociologist Isomorphism, Institutional Parochialism and the Sociology of Religion ,” which asserts that the sociology of religion is marked by a considerable amount of institutional parochialism I consider institutional parochialism as a tendency for scholars to study people in their own societies, or to study people with whom they share a cultural affinity. To be clear, I do not think that institutional parochialism is a condition specific to the sociology of religion. Institutional parochialism is a normative condition that is evident in many academic fields. In fact, it is likely that the sociology of religion is actually “more worldly” when compared to other sociological sub-disciplines. So, while many in the sociology of religion likely study Christianity because they have an affinity with the faith, I assume that similar trends (e.g., people studying people like themselves) exist in many other sub-disciplines. The “Institutional Parochialism” study investigated the content of two journals
