This Religion and Social Change resource bundle within the Beliefs in Society A Level Sociology unit provides students with a critical and comparative understanding of how religion can act both as a force for stability and as a driver of social transformation. The PDF summary explores key sociological theories and case studies, including Weber’s analysis of Calvinism and the rise of capitalism, Liberation Theology in Latin America, and the role of religion in civil rights movements, Islamic fundamentalism, and Hindu nationalism. The bundle examines the contrasting views of Functionalists, Marxists, Neo-Marxists, and Feminists on whether religion maintains or challenges the status quo. The PowerPoint presentation visually explains complex concepts like theodicy of disprivilege, relative autonomy, and dual character of religion, helping students grasp both theoretical and empirical dimensions of religious influence. To build strong evaluation and essay-writing skills, the pack includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities such as debate prompts, theory-evidence matching tasks, and structured essay scaffolds. A targeted podcast episode brings key debates to life by exploring real-world examples of religion as a vehicle for protest, resistance, or conformity. The question bank offers a range of short and long-answer questions with model responses, including essay prompts like “Evaluate the view that religion is more likely to cause social change than prevent it.” An interactive quiz reinforces essential theories, examples, and sociological terms. Altogether, this bundle equips students to analyse one of the most dynamic and evaluative areas of the beliefs in society topic with confidence and depth
