Durkheim"s functionalist approach: religion reinforces social solidarity, heightening our sense of belonging to a group and strengthening our belief in certain ideas. Concept map: collective conscience, profane, sacred, totems, and rituals. Collective conscience: composed of the profane (the everyday) and the sacred (those things that are related to religion) Sacred: we have totems (objects) and rituals (practices) associated with them. The more we recognize the totems, we are participating in the sacred.
