Conflict Analysis on Religion
According to Marx: Marx is often quoted as saying that "religion is the opium of
the people.“ Marx maintained that the happiness and rewards promised by
religion are merely illusions. religion helps maintain social inequality by justifying oppression
and is an institution that justifies and perpetuates the ills of society.
the inequalities and social injustices that exist in society are reflected within the religious institutions themselves (e.g., race, class, or gender stratification).
religious practices and rituals define group boundaries within society,
According to Marx, religion is a matter of ideology not of faith, focusing more on social needs and aspirations than on spirituality.
Example: The Hindu Caste System
CriticismFocus on change and neglect of social stability.
Change is minor or incremental not revolutionary
Inequalities in power & reward are built into social structures
Individuals and groups who benefit also strive to see it maintained
