One of the prominent French Sociologists, Emile Durkheim defined religion as a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things. According to Emile Durkheim, religion begins with the division of the world into two kinds of phenomena: the profane and the sacred. The profane is concerned with the ordinary aspects of everyday life; it has nothing to do with religious beliefs. The sacred refers to all objects and aspects of life set apart from the ordinary, regarded as holy and related to the supernatural. The sacred forms the foundation of every religion. Religion is primarily a collective activity based on a classification of things into the sacred (set apart and forbidden) and profane (part of the everyday world). Thus, it can be said that Durkehim approached to the issue of religion in terms of its function in the society.
