Abstract
Would you consider yourself to be religious or spiritual? Perhaps, you believe yourself to be simultaneously both? Or instead, are you a hardline atheist who finds your sense of awe in the wonders of science? Do you think religiosity is a personal issue or one that should inform government policy? Are the religious practices of your grandparents outdated and incompatible with your contemporary social world? Are parts of the world becoming more or less religious? Certainly, these are some of the many questions that sociologists of religion set out to answer.
