L'article prétend que les idées d'Emile Durkheim et de Max Weber restent pertinentes pour comprendre la présence de la religion aussi bien que son absence dans la société contemporaine. Durkheim fournit des concepts pour interpréter le retour de la religion dans la sphère publique, la croissance rapide du fondamentalisme, la psychologie de la résistance au changement social, l'émergence des nouvelles formes de régionalisme et de nationalisme, et la présence des courants oecuméniques dans toutes les grandes religions. Weber fournit des concepts pour interpréter le rôle de l'individu dans la religion, l'impact de sa position sociale à la pratique religieuse et la sécularisation massive de la société contemporaine. En raison de l'individualisme et de l'utilitarisme souvent présupposés dans la recherche sociologique de la religion, l'article recommande la relecture des textes de Durkheim qui traitent de la société comme productrice de la conscience personnelle.
