Answer to Question 1

Durkheim thought that religion served a crucial social function for people and society by (1) bringing the community together to participate in ritual, that is, scripted collective activity that employs certain cherished symbols; (2) generating the collective effervescence by successful ritual, in which the individual is overcome by the feeling of being one with the community; and (3) producing long-lasting solidarity, or a feeling of belonging together, that will sustain the community until the ritual is repeated. The range of activities in which people participate provides opportunities for the formation of social ties and communities in the home setting, at work, in religious communities, and, of course, online.
