1) émile durkheim defined religion as a "unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things". to him, the sacred meant extraordinary—something that inspired wonder and which seemed connected to the concept of "the divine." durkheim argued that "religion happens" in society when there is a separation between the profane (ordinary life) and the sacred. a rock, for example, isn’t sacred or profane as it exists. but if someone makes it into a headstone, or another person uses it for landscaping, it takes on different meanings—one sacred, one profane. 2) marx’s analysis and critique of religion "religion is the opium of the masses" ("die religion ist das opium des volkesis") is perhaps one of the most famous and most quoted by theist and atheist alike. unfortunately, most of those doing the quoting don’t really understand exactly what marx meant, probably due to an incomplete understanding of marx’s general theories on economics and society. 3) among some of freud's most famous quotes on religion, in his book new introductory lectures on psychoanalysis, he suggested that "religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."
