Abstract
Bourgeois sociology of religion as a distinct discipline originated at the beginning of the twentieth century. The French sociologist Emil Durkheim (1858-1917) and the German historian and sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920) are regarded as its founders. After World War II the center of bourgeois sociological thought shifted from Europe to the United States. Courses in the sociology of religion began to be taught at many universities and colleges in the United States, and empirical research into religiosity was undertaken. American sociologists continue today to exercise the predominant influence both in the treatment of theoretical problems by bourgeois sociology of religion and on the development of techniques and procedures for empirical studies of religious behavior.
