| | Talk:Anthropology of religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Arthur Darby Nock is a professor of religion, not an anthropologist. | | | First and foremosts, anthropologists are scientists, as evidenced by their traditional antipathy to religion and creation science; the anthropology of religion is an attempt to study religious beliefs and practices using the scientific method rather than an attempt to legitimize pseudo-science. | | | Noticeably absent from the anthropological concept of religion are terms like "faith" and "morality." Rather, the anthropological study of religion is much more akin to the study of metaphysics. |

| | Anthropology of Religion: Common Elements of Religion |
| | One of the hallmarks of religion is a belief in supernatural beings and forces. | | | Religions differ in the number of gods that their followers believe exist. | | | When there are many gods in a religion, they are typically ranked relative to each other in terms of their powers and their interests. |

| | ANTHROPOLOGY OF RELIGION FACTS AND INFORMATION |
| | One major problem in the anthropology of religion is the definition of religion itself. | | | The anthropology of religion involves the study of religious institutions in relation to other social institutions, and the comparison of religious beliefs and practices across cultures. | | | According to Clifford Geertz, religion is system of symbols, beliefs, and patterns of behaviors by which humans control that which is beyond their control. |

| | Religion Explained, from the world's leading expert on religion and cognition, provides strikingly original answers to these questions, and many more, which are some of the most fundamental queries for all of humankind. | | | In his subsequent explorations, science and religion are mutually illuminating rather than antagonistic, and this amounts to a breath of fresh air in a context that often depicts them as mortal enemies. | | | Whoever designed religion, or designs each religion, seems to have uncanny prescience of what will be successful with human minds. |

| | Publishing in anthropology of religion is rising, and, while a great deal of the output consists of reprints of classic texts, people are also beginning to re-think their theoretical standpoint towards the study of religion in some creative ways (Glazier 3). | | | While in history of religion, for example, in asking the same questions of world religions, may look for answers in the literary record, in myth, and the work of religious professionals in world religions anthropology has tended to focus its efforts in ethnography. | | | Place is what, in fact, sets anthropology of religion apart from "religious studies" and is also, perhaps, the greatest contribution of anthropology of religion to contemporary religious studies. |
