Abstract
Civil religion makes reference to the collective consciousness that brings together people in a society within a common identity or culture. It can live side by side with institutionalized religion in certain contexts or in opposition in others. The two leading sociologists who addressed this concept were Émile Durkheim and Robert Bellah.
