| Video Discription | In this module, Professor Chris Shilling (University of Kent) poses the question of why sociologists are interested in religion. We begin by outlining secularisation theory, as developed by Karl Marx and Max Weber, before considering five reasons that religion has nonetheless remained central to sociology: (i) secularisation theory has been widely challenged; (ii) religion forms many people’s worldviews; (iii) it is necessary to understand contemporary conflicts; (iv) it helps to understand other areas of sociology, such as gender; (v) it is central to two core sociological issues - the problem of order and the problem of meaning. This lecture is part of a larger course on The Sociology of Religion.
