11:00 a.m. – Service: The Devil’s Handmaidens: The Scientific Study of Religion, led by Tom Kersen and Jim Becker

The major tasks of sociology are to understand and document the interaction between the group and individuals and the dynamics of group life . A foundational belief of sociology regarding human nature is that we, as biological organisms, “become human only in groups.” Furthermore, we argue that humans use symbols and act to problem solve but that all social phenomena are interrelated. We will explore these ideas and more!
