Does religion essentially maintain the social patterns and power structure of society or does it a make a crucial contribution to movements producing social change Furthermore, has religion become a less important element of society in the modern world through growing secularization or is it continually transformed and renewed in society These questions about the effects and prevalence of sacred beliefs and institutions are examined through the views of both classic and contemporary sociologists.
