Abstract
Although religious convictions may be deeply personal, religion is also a social institution. Religious views, behaviours, and norms are recognised by social scientists as an ordered and interconnected collection of beliefs, behaviours, and norms based on common social needs and values. The research paper in question seeks to analyze the origin, history, functions, and evolution of religion from a sociological approach.
