| dc.description.abstract | The word society symbolizes a large reality as a conceptualization tool. This reality which is notlived fully and homogenously by most of its members in daily life was depicted as if it is lived in classicalsociology. For example, from a Durkheim point of view, the typical structural features of the society andsociological facts compose of elements which are formed without the influence of individual but affect themsimilarly. Modern sociology emphasizes that the analysis field of sociology must be reduced from the macrolevel to the micro-level since daily life becomes concrete within social groups. However, structural features ofmodern society, for instance, formal institutional entities, both diversify the social groups as they could reachthe individuals who have similar needs by being organized socially and with this diversification, commitmentsto the groups become superficial based on pragmatic relationships. However, it is another fact that in terms ofthese entities, societies are in a state of inequality. Individuals who live in a society that couldn’t organize itsformal institutional entities in the context of prevalence/inclusion basis at the macro level accept continuouslybeing in these entities to eliminate their feelings of ontological insecurity. This study sees the religion,accordingly beliefs, as a field which could rehabilitate feeling of ontological insecurity both individually andas a group. Religions, with reference to being a phenomenon that has individual and social functions, on onehand, responses the psychological and spiritual needs of individuals, on the other hand, it causes severalgroupings at the social level. Moreover, this grouping phenomenon caused by religion and known as a religiousgroup or religious community could be discussed as entities that individuals choose for the social needs whichthey cannot eliminate through formal institutions. Especially, in societies that couldn’t complete itsmodernization and couldn’t institutionalized sufficiently individuals, in order to meet their social needs, tendsto join various alternative entities. The reason behind these tendencies is analyzed by considering the sourcesthat exist in the literature. | en_US |
