Sociology of Religion

By Carlos Ernesto Flores Tapia

The sociology of religion was born when sociology was born as a science -the 19th century-, coinciding with the moment of transformations in Western life in the political, religious, cultural and economic spheres, among others. That is, when capitalism appeared as a new system.In this new scenario, the religious fact is of concern because it also undergoes changes. In this sense, we seek to study it scientifically because religious discourse appears as the experience of the religious fact. Thus, what the believer appears to have as religious motivations are not necessarily so, since society influences the conformation of beliefs and practices and they are part of social conflicts, creating the need to be interpreted -the religious fact- as a social fact.
