Abstract
1he concept of anomie, or normlessness, has been of major importance in sociological research and theory since Durkheim's classic treatise on Suicide (1951). Reconsidered by Robert Merton (1938, 1968) in conjunction with the anomie theory of deviant behavior, and translated into an attitudinal variable by Leo Srole (1956) and others, it has been the subject of considerable research, in terms of both causes and consequences, over the past two decades. The purpose of this paper is to inquire into the role that certain religion variables may play in producing or forestalling personal, or attitudinal, anomie.
