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.[citation needed] Modern anthropology assumes that
there is complete continuity between magical thinking and religion,[1] and that every religion is a cultural productcreated by the human community that practices it.[2]

Anthropology of religion 4
History
In the early 11th century, Ab Rayhn Brn (973-1048), wrote detailed comparative studies on the anthropology of
religions and cultures across the Middle East, Mediterranean and the Indian subcontinent.[3] He discussed the
peoples, customs, and religions of the Indian subcontinent.
Modern anthropology assumes that religion is in complete continuity with magical thinking, [1] that it is a cultural
product,[4] and that is a phenomenon of psychological projection. The complete continuity between magic andreligion has been a postulate of modern anthropology at least since early 1930s. [1][5] The perspective of modern
anthropology towards religion is theprojection idea, a methodological approach which assumes that every religion is
created by the human community that worships it, that "creative activity ascribed to God is projected from
man."[2][6][7] In 1841, Ludwig Feuerbach, was the first to employ this concept as the basis for a systematic critique
of religion.[8][9][10][11] A prominent precursor in the formulation of this projection principle was Giambattista
Vico,[8][12] and an early formulation of it is found in ancient Greek writer Xenophanes, which observed that "the
gods of Ethiopians were inevitably black with flat noses while those of the Thracians were blond with blue eyes." [8]
In 1912 mile Durkheim, building on Feuerbach, considered religion "a projection of the social values of society,"
"a means of making symbolic statements about society," "a symbolic language that makes statements about the
social order";[13][14] in short, "religion is society worshiping itself".[11][15]
In the 19th century, cultural anthropology was dominated by an interest in cultural evolution; most anthropologists
assumed that there was a simple distinction between primitive and modern religion and tried to provide accounts
of how the former evolved into the latter. In the 20th century most anthropologists rejected this approach. Today the
anthropology of religion reflects the influence of, or an engagement with, such theorists as Karl Marx, Sigmund
Freud, mile Durkheim, and Max Weber. They are especially concerned with how religious beliefs and practices
may reflect political or economic forces; or the social functions of religious beliefs and practices.
Definition of religion
One major problem in the anthropology of religion is the definition of religion itself. At one time anthropologists
believed that certain religious practices and beliefs were more or less universal to all cultures at some point in their
development, such as a belief in spirits or ghosts, the use of magic as a means of controlling the supernatural, the use
of divination as a means of discovering occult knowledge, and the performance of rituals such as prayer and sacrifice
as a means of influencing the outcome of various events through a supernatural agency, sometimes taking the form
of shamanism or ancestor worship. According to Geertz, religion is "(1) a system of symbols which acts to (2)
establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by (3) formulating conceptions of a
general order of existence and (4) clothing these conceptions with such an aura of factuality that (5) the moods and
motivations seem uniquely realistic" (Geertz 1966).[16] Today, anthropologists debate, and many reject, the
cross-cultural validity of these categories (often viewing them as examples of European primitivism).
Anthropologists have considered various criteria for defining religion such as a belief in the supernatural or the
reliance on ritual but few claim that these criteria are universally valid.
In Western culture, religion has become more or less synonymous with monotheism and the various moral codes that
monotheism prescribes. Moral codes have also evolved in conjunction with Hindu and Buddhist beliefs, independent
of monotheism. However, prescriptive moral codes or even normative ethical codes are not a necessary component
of religious beliefs or practices any more than they are a necessary component of science and the scientific method.
Anthony F.C. Wallace proposes four categories of religion, each subsequent category subsuming the previous. These
are, however, synthetic categories and do not necessarily encompass all religions.[17]
1. Individualistic: most basic; simplest. Example: vision quest.
2. Shamanistic: part-time religious practitioner, uses religion to heal, to divine, usually on the behalf of a client. TheTillamook have four categories of shaman. Examples of shamans: spiritualists, faith healers, palm readers.
