They take it as a theological phenomenon.

They suggest the truth of religious beliefs.

They approach issues as a believer of faith.

They are concerned with psychological aspect.


Yanıt Açıklaması:

According to sociological approach, religion should primarily be taken a social rather than theological or psychological phenomenon. Sociology focuses on the social consequences and correlates of religion but no sociological explanations suggest the truth or falsity of any religious belief. When sociologists study religion, they do so as unbiased scientists and not as believers (or disbelievers) in any particular faith. This stance has a number of implications: Sociologists are not concerned with whether religious beliefs are true or false. The sociological perspective regards religions as socially constructed by human beings.
