Definition can be attempted, if at all, only at the conclusion of the study. The "essence" of religion is not even our concern, as we make it our task to study the conditions and effects of a particular type of social action. The external courses of religious behavior are so diverse that an understanding of this behavior can only be achieved from the viewpoint of the subjective experiences, notion, and purposes of the individuals concernedin short, from the viewpoint of the religious behavior's "meaning."

The Sociologyof Religion Durkheim's earlier concern with social regulation was in themain focused on the more external forces of control, moreparticularly legal regulations that can be studied, so he argued,in the law books and without regard to individuals. Later he wasled to consider forces of control that were internalized inindividual consciousness. Being convinced that "society hasto be present within the individual," Durkheim, followingthe logic of his own theory, was led to the study of religion,one of the forces that created within individuals a sense ofmoral obligation to adhere to society's demands. Durkheim had yet another motive for studying the functions ofreligionnamely, concern with mechanisms that might serve toshore up a threatened social order. In this respect he was inquest of what would today be described as functional equivalentsfor religion in a fundamentally a-religious age. par excellence ,inspiring communal devotion to ethical ends that transcendedindividual purposes. But if the reign of traditional religiousorientations had now ended, what would take their place? Wouldthe end of traditional religion be a prelude to the dissolutionof all moral community into a state of universal breakdown andanomie? Such questions intensified Durkheim's concern with thesociology of religion, adding to the intrinsic interest he had interms of the internal logic of his system. Basic to his theory isthe stress on religious phenomena as communal rather thanindividual. "A religion is a unified system of beliefs andpractices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things setapart and forbiddenbeliefs and practices which unite in onesingle moral community called a Church, all those who adhere tothem."

27. Marx, Religion, And Sociology Of Religion Marx, Religion, and Sociology of Religion by David H. Kessel *** INTRODUCTION Karl Marx has been progressively included in general sociology in recent years.. http://www.angelfire.com/or/sociologyshop/msor.html

Marx, Religion, and Sociology of Religion by David H. Kessel INTRODUCTION Karl Marx has been progressively included in general sociology in recent years.. Yet, in certain sociological specialties his ideas seem to be missing or given only brief attention. One such specialty is the sociology of religion. Despite the importance accorded to religion by Marx, a careful reading of the sociology of religion literature reveals few references to his views. The purpose of this paper is to understand why this is so and to explicate Marx's views on religion in order to facilitate the use of a Marxist perspective in the discipline. CONVENTIONAL SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION As just indicated, there is a paucity of attention paid to Marx in the current sociology of religion. While acknowledging the persistence of an anti-marxian ideological climate in the West, to adequately assess this situation one must turn to the specialty itself, its assumptions and methods. Thomas Luckmann provides a fruitful analysis of the discipline. He maintains that there is today an absence of developing theory in the sociology of religion. This absence of theory is both a conceptual and methodological problem. Conceptually, Luckmann points out the main assumption of the discipline has been and still is the erroneous identification of religion and church. This erroneous identification has resulted in the equation of religiosity with, and only with, its organized and institutionalized form. The result, Luckmann maintains, is obvious: religion then becomes amenable to scientific analysis "

That thesis is that conservative churches are strong and hence grow. The works by Berger and Wallace represent the older paradigm of sociology of religion, embracing secularisation theory - that as society advances religion becomes less important. The works by Stark are representative of the new paradigm which seeks to understand why religion succeeds even in "advanced" countries. Berger P .

The Immanent Frame About Deathless questions Notes from the field off the cuff ... The book blog Sociology of religion July 9th, 2010 When strong is weak posted by David Smilde It is a testament to the power of the “strong program” image that most commentators on our working paper read Matt May and me to be optimistically praising its emergence in the sociology of religion, despite our statements to the contrary. Of course, a writer criticizing readers is bad form, and truth be told, we deeply appreciate the commentators’ willingness to discuss a working paper whose positions and prose are not yet entirely solidified. Our original title had “a critical engagement” as its subtitle; leaving it out probably didn’t help communicate our intent. If we add to this the positive connotations of the term “emerging,” we can certainly understand how commentators saw us as identifying a wave we were preparing to surf.
