This paper focuses on the roles religion plays in society. It also gives the outlooks on religion that some sociologists have in reference to different theoretical backgrounds. I chose this topic because I have a great interest in religion and how it effects society in many different ways and how religion effects the lives of every individual in society.
The articles used for this paper mainly focus on Christian religions, probably because Christianity is the main influential religion in the United States today. Our constitution provides for separation of church and state, but politicians and politics in general often have very strong views about Christianity and are greatly influenced by different religious groups. In the United States today it would be very difficult for a person who was not a mainstream Christian to get elected to a high political perhaps any political position. Say if a women who was involved in a new goddess based religion tried to run for office, she wouldn’t really have a chance, one because she was a woman, but mainly because she was not a Christian.
