How did Durkheim define religion?
He defined religion not in terms of gods or supernatural phenomena, but in terms of the sacred - things that are set apart from society as extraordinary, inspiring awe, and deserving of reverence. He claimed that in all societies, there's a difference between the sacred and the profane, of the mundane, everyday parts of life. Religion, then, is a social institution that involves a unified system of beliefs and practices that recognizes the sacred.
