The Association for the Sociology of Religion (ASR) is an academic association with more than 700 members worldwide. It publishes a journal, Sociology of Religion, and holds meetings at the same venues and times as the American Sociological Association.[3]

History

The ASR was founded by Catholic sociologists in Chicago in 1938 as the American Catholic Sociological Society.[3] The organization adopted its present name in 1970, reflecting changes in the Vatican's policy that led to greater openness towards other faiths.

Activities

The association publishes a journal, Sociology of Religion, as well as a quarterly newsletter.[3] It is the co-publisher of an annual series entitled Religion and the Social Order.[3] The association provides research grants.[3]
