CEVAP:

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.When dealing with religion, sociologists mainly try to understand how religions shape society and conversely, how the historical and contemporary social conditions shape religions. Thus, according to sociological approach, religion should primarily be taken a social rather than theological or psychological phenomenon. Since religions vary widely in substantive teachings and practices, most sociological definitions attempt to identify religion in terms of functions rather than substance. Thus, sociology focuses on the social consequences and correlates of religion but no sociological explanations suggest the truth or falsity of any religious belief.
