Question.869 - Emile Durkheim believed that religion promotes social cohesion, social control, and prevents individuals from experiencing anomie. However, he also believed that religious belief was in decline and might even disappear, in which society would need new institutions to promote social cohesion. What other, non-religious institutions, organizations, or other social phenomena can you think of that might play the same function that Durkheim ascribed to religion? Choose and describe at least two, and explain how they play this important function in society. German sociologist and political economist Max Weber (1864–1920), in his seminal work, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, believed religion to be a precipitator of social change. Critique his approach and argue against his view point to show that changes in religious ideals did not create capitalism.
