NOTES ON RELIGION

Variety

by Phil Bartle, PhD

Training Handout

The Sociology of Religion

In Sociology, we study religion in a manner different from how it is studied in theology.

Theology is all about “Theo” (God).

As a science, Sociology can not prove or disprove the existence of God, but it can look at the social ramifications, social organisation and social functions of belief systems, rituals, celebrations, beliefs, values and practices.

See the paper on the Beliefs Dimension.
