High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sociology of Religion is a 1920 book by Max Weber, a German economist and sociologist. The original edition was in German. Max Weber, unlike Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim, studied the effects of religious action and inaction. Instead of viewing religion as an "opiate of the people," or as a method of promoting a moral society, Weber simply categorized different religions in order to fully understand religion's subjective meaning to the individual (Verstehen). By viewing religion strictly in the scientific sense, Weber was able to ignore value judgments, and to understand religion as those human responses that give meaning to the ultimate inescapable problems of existence.
