“…There likewise seems to be an overlooked link between disenchantment and the actual dynamics of change in religiosity. Besides the link between religion and productivity, another of Weber's (1971) famous claims about religion was that the modern world is moving toward increasingly rational behavior and thus is becoming disenchanted with religious narratives. So, the role of religion is thus expected to diminish for contemporary generations (Weber, 1971).…”

So, the role of religion is thus expected to diminish for contemporary generations (Weber, 1971). However, an abundance of anecdotal evidence is available showing a growing interest in esoteric or alternative religious self-identification-from witch-selfidentification, to the Flat Earth Society, to a flourishing spread of the Prosperity Gospel (see e.g., Wrenn, 2019Wrenn, , 2021.…”

“…Yet, he never elaborated on why we may want to hold these religious feelings in the first place. Moreover, elsewhere, Weber (1971) again claimed that our age should be expected to gradually become disenchanted with religion. Modern sociological literature has contested this second Weberian claim.…”

“…Religion is one of the oldest institutions and has certainly fomented a lot of interest in economic thought (Bénabou et al, 2022;Bénabou & Tirole, 2006;Drelichman et al, 2021;Iannaccone, 1998;Marx, 1844;Weber, 1971). However, most models either remain on the macro level only (dealing with the competition between religious institutions) or explore the substitutions-related micro choice between religious clubs and networks, once one is already a believer (Leeson & Russ, 2018;Montalvo & Reynal-Querol, 2005).…”

You'll never walk alone: Loneliness, religion, and politico‐economic transformation

The rise of subversive religious beliefs has been recently documented as related to the politico‐economic radicalization of places that feel left behind. When is the traditional local religious institution so socio‐economically inefficient in providing hope for “not walking alone” to become substituted by subversive religious beliefs on the market for hope? This article suggests a detailed methodology, linking micro and macro levels, that starts from the quantification of the individual gain from religion as a source for well‐being by providing the feeling of “not walking alone.” This micro gain is next used: (i) to evaluate a religious institution in terms of the social welfare that it generates, and (ii) to monitor this religious institution for losing its market to subversive religious beliefs, related to radical politico‐economic transformations. To illustrate this methodology, I analyze the socio‐economic efficiency of the Church of England as a predictive tool for the Brexit vote.Related ArticlesGainous, Jason, and Bill Radunovich. 2008. “Religion and Core Values: A Reformulation of the Funnel of Causality.” Politics & Policy 33(1): 154–80. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747‐1346.2005.tb00213.x.Giugni, Marco, and Maria T.

“…Looking ahead, Durkheim theorized that one collective meaning would eventually be replaced by another, and that secular agents such as the state had taken on the trappings of community-binding elements previously reserved for religious institutions. Such theories bore some similarity to those of Durkheim's quasi-contemporary Weber (1993Weber ( [1920), who discussed the loss of collective, symbolic meaning encapsulated in the industrial revolution.…”

In recent years, hate groups have increasingly attracted public attention while at the same time escaping the purview of scholars. Although overt prejudiced attitudes have lost public support in recent decades, hate group and hate-group activity has remained relatively consistent. What, then, explains the enduring power of hate? I argue that hate groups have arisen in reaction to the loss of social capital, particularly in regard to rural and exurban communities. Using county-level suicide rates as a proxy for the loss of social capital, I test this theory using data from the lower 48 states from 2010 to 2019. I find that each 5.38 percent increase in suicide rates is associated with 1 additional hate group forming. These findings highlight the importance of examining quality-of-life in understanding far-right activity, and challenge previous findings with regard to rurality and hate.

Die Soziologie der Weltbeziehungen untersucht, wie Menschen sich in der Welt verorten und mit ihr in Verbindung treten. Auf welche Weise dieser Ansatz für unterschiedliche Disziplinen fruchtbar gemacht werden kann, zeigt dieser Band. Dabei widmen sich die Autor:innen einer Analyse grundlegender Konzepte der westlichen Moderne – etwa den Praktiken des Teilens und Tauschens. Darüber hinaus eröffnen sie eine historisch sowie global vergleichende Perspektive anhand vielfältiger Themen, etwa dem Verständnis von Markt und Eigentum in China oder der Dekolonisierung von Forschung in Indien. Hieran anschließend formulieren sie konkrete Vorschläge zu einer Neuausrichtung der Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
