The Social Basis of Religion is a book written by Simon N. Patten that explores the relationship between religion and society. Patten argues that religion is not just a matter of personal belief, but is shaped by social and cultural factors. He examines the role of religion in shaping social structures and values, and how it is used to maintain social order and control. Patten also explores the ways in which religion has been used to justify inequality and oppression, as well as its potential to inspire social change and promote social justice. The book draws on a range of historical and contemporary examples from different religious traditions to illustrate its arguments. Overall, The Social Basis of Religion is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex relationship between religion and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
