Rational Choice Theory and Religion (Point/Counterpoint

by Lawrence Young (Editor)

Rational Choice Theory and Religion considers one of the major developments in the social scientific paradigms that promises to foster a greater theoretical unity among the disciplines of sociology, political science, economics and psychology. Applying the theory of rational choice--the theory that each individual will make her choice to maximize gain and minimize cost--to the study of religion, Lawrence Young has brought together a group of internationally renowned scholars to examine this important development within the field of religion for the first time.

A fair sociological view of how cultures make religious choices. Naturally not much room for divine intervention in this analysis...
