1)Summary: Sociology of religion is a subject that studies the origin, daily practice, organization form, social function and religious significance of religion. This Wikipedia article introduces Durkheim's religious thesis, the types of religious organization, the four forms, the types of worship, and the theory of religion.

Based on the research premise of social science, Durkheim believed that religion has the function of maintaining social order and strengthening social strata. It also points out that religion has four important elements: sacred objects, belief ideas, rituals and moral communities.

There are four types of religious organizations: the state church, which is the largest local religious organization and is recognized by the local government; Sect: is a well-established large religious organization, but has no official dealings with the government. There are usually many sects in a country; Small denomination: A religious organization that has split from the original denomination, usually because of ideological disagreement with the original denomination, and the members of the group tend to have high loyalty. New religion: A religious group that is small and difficult to understand by the mainstream of society. Represent new religious beliefs or make innovations in their existing religions.

2)New Knowledge: The types of religion are divided into institutional religion and diffuse religion according to the independence of the group. In the past, I was exposed to the notion that religions are classified by different dogmatic contents.

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
