Abstract

In this article, the author discusses how and to what extent institutional context and personal religious beliefs influence empirical research in the sociology of religion. Historically the discipline was connected to strategic work in Christian churches. Sociology of religion has become secularized as a discipline, but still there are many institutional and personal connections between churches and doing sociological research on religion. The other side of the coin seems to be that empirically oriented sociologists in general traditionally have been relatively secular. This may have led to ignoring religion as a social factor for long periods, and possibly to exaggerating the significance of religion in recent years. The author finds no deterministic connection between institutional affiliation and personal beliefs on the one hand, and the way sociology of religion is done on the other. However, there may be some elective affinity between personal experience and the topics chosen for studies, more than the answers given to research questions. The author recommends an increased reflexivity while doing research.
