Religion as a Social Institution

Pie de foto: : by Antonio Adams on 21 May 2013

Not all religions share the same set of beliefs, but in one form or another, religion is found in all known human societies. Even the earliest societies on record show clear traces of religious symbols and ceremonies. Throughout history, religion has continued to be a central part of societies and human experience, shaping how individuals react to the environments in which they live. Since religion is such an important part of societies around the world, sociologists are very interested in studying it.http://sociology.about.com/od/Disciplines/a/Sociology-Of-Religion.htmhttp://sociology.about.com/od/I_Index/g/Institution.htmhttp://sociology.about.com/od/Sociology101/fl/The-Sociological-Perspective.htmBy Ashley CrossmanSociology Expert
