This Ideologies of Religion resource bundle offers A Level Sociology students a comprehensive and evaluative look at the complex relationship between religion and ideology. The PDF summary explores how religion can function both as a conservative force maintaining the status quo and as a catalyst for social change, drawing on key theorists such as Marx, Gramsci, Althusser, Weber, and Maduro. It examines concepts such as hegemony, liberation theology, religious feminism, and secular ideologies, alongside the distinction between religious and political belief systems. The PowerPoint presentation clearly presents these theories with contemporary and historical examples (e.g. the Civil Rights Movement, Pentecostalism in Latin America), helping students apply abstract ideas to real-world contexts. To develop analytical skills and theoretical comparisons, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities, such as ideology-matching tasks, theory-application grids, and essay planning scaffolds. A podcast episode guides students through key debates, including whether religion supports or challenges dominant ideologies, and how it intersects with class, gender, and power. The question bank features a range of exam-style questions with model answers, such as “Evaluate the view that religion acts as an ideology that supports inequality.” An interactive quiz reinforces key concepts and theorists through a variety of question formats. Altogether, this bundle equips students to critically engage with one of the most theoretical and thought-provoking areas of the beliefs in society unit
