COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course explores the relationship between religion and society through sociological theories and real-world case studies. Students examine how religion shapes and is shaped by social institutions, politics, gender, race, economics, and culture across different societies. Using both classical and contemporary perspectives, the course encourages critical analysis of religion's role in issues such as power, identity, violence, liberation, and social change.

"It is only partly true that religion does more harm than good in society. The community makes God into the image it wants, vengeful, or milky sweet, or scrupulously just, and so on."

MaRY DOUGLAS
