var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Check out the NEW Hotbot Tell me when this page is updated Memes and the sociology of religion - how religious beliefs propagate and maintain themselves within social groups. Among many anthropologists and sociologists, it has recently become fashionable to dismiss all religions as memes - parasitic mental processes which propagate in the same manner as chain letters [Dawkins 1989, Dennett 1995]. In this view, religious belief is a self-perpetuating delusion.. A meme (rhymes with 'dream') may be defined as any self-referential belief system which contains within itself the instructions for its own propagation. Memes are often accused of being the social equivalents of computer viruses - useless or sometimes harmful mental processes which use their hosts to infect others. A meme has exactly the same psychological motivation as a chain letter - "If you propagate me then something nice will happen, if not then something horrible will happen". In order to justify themselves against attack by reason, religious memes place absolute reliance on faith, which is seen as being superior to reason. They also contain self-referential or circular claims to the truth such as "This meme says it is the divine truth. Since it is the divine truth whatever its says must be true. Therefore it must be divine truth because it says so and all competing memes must be the work of the devil".

American Sociological Association Section on Sociology of Religion ASA Home Page Section Home Page The Sociology of Religion ... Grants The Sociology of Religion Religion has been an important dimension of all societies and continues to play an influential role in virtually all aspects of contemporary life. The sociology of religion seeks to understand religion in its varied manifestations as a social institution, as a cultural practice, and as a pattern of beliefs and activities that are shaped by societal conditions and that, in turn, shape these conditions. In the discipline of sociology, studies of religion have enjoyed a distinguished tradition, including their prominence in the works of Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, and Karl Marx. These studies continue to be a lively area of endeavor, focusing on such current topics as religious movements, religious organizations, and the relationship of religion to gender, culture, politics, globalization, and social change. Sociologists of religion are characterized by a wide range of religious beliefs, as well as nonbelief, and embrace a variety of theoretical and methodological orientations.

Old Roman Catholics I. Group Profile Name: Old Catholics/ Old Roman Catholics Founder: Cornelius Jansen Date of Birth/Death: Year Founded: Established in 1871 with the Declaration of Catholic Congress at Munich. History The Old Catholics arrival is fairly recent in theUnited States when compared to their involvement in Europe; many first generation Old Catholics in America are still active in their congregations, while the history of the Old Catholics begins in Europe a few centuries ago. Some argue the basic beliefs and motivations of Old Catholicism began in the sixteenth century with Cornelius Jansen and the incidents at Port Royal. Cornelius Jansen (1585-1638) believed that after the time of St. Augustine, the Catholic Church began to decline in practice and beliefs. Abbe de St. Cyran (1581-1641) also agreed with Jansen and claimed only the Port Royal Community in France with their extremely conservative lifestyle were the true devotees of Catholicism. In turn, the community lost the support of friends and Pope Clement XI. On September 8, 1713 the Pope issueda bill called "Unigentius" which contained the misconduct of Jansen's teachings and punishments for following these teachings. Many fled to Protestant Holland where they were received although the Protestants had more serious issues and concerns of their own and they did not fully agree with the credence of Jansen. The common thread they shared that bonded them was their antipathy for the Jesuits. The Old Catholics move to Holland...

The Sociology of Religion....DURKHEIM Durkheim's earlier concern with social regulation was in the main focused on the more external forces of control, more particularly legal regulations that can be studied, so he argued, in the law books and without regard to individuals. Later he was led to consider forces of control that were internalized in individual consciousness. Being convinced that "society has to be present within the individual," Durkheim, following the logic of his own theory, was led to the study of religion, one of the forces that created within individuals a sense of moral obligation to adhere to society's demands. Durkheim had yet another motive for studying the functions of religionnamely, concern with mechanisms that might serve to shore up a threatened social order. In this respect he was in quest of what would today be described as functional equivalents for religion in a fundamentally a-religious age. par excellence , inspiring communal devotion to ethical ends that transcended individual purposes. But if the reign of traditional religious orientations had now ended, what would take their place? Would the end of traditional religion be a prelude to the dissolution of all moral community into a state of universal breakdown and anomie? Such questions intensified Durkheim's concern with the sociology of religion, adding to the intrinsic interest he had in terms of the internal logic of his system. Basic to his theory is the stress on religious phenomena as communal rather than individual. "A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbiddenbeliefs and practices which unite in one single moral community called a Church, all those who adhere to them." In contrast to William James, for example, Durkheim was not concerned with the variety of religious experience of individuals but rather with the communal activity and the communal bonds to which participation in religious activities gives rise.
