Description:

Looking at religion as a mode of thought, we examine theories that attempt to explain the origins, world-wide manifestation, and vitality of myths, rituals, magic, witchcraft, and other ways of thinking and acting that are typically associated with (or against) the concept of religion. Collaterally, we examine the methodologies by which we hope to understand the meaning of these concepts.
