“Why do sociologists examine religion?”

"Sociologists study religion to understand its influence on societal structures individual behavior and cultural norms shaping values like compassion and community. In social welfare this informs policies that respect religious diversity while addressing issues like poverty and social cohesion.

By examining its societal functions sociologists enhance welfare strategies promoting resilience and harmony through culturally sensitive evidence-based approaches."
