  • Committee for the Scientific Study of Religion

The Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (was founded at Harvard University in 1949) was formed to advance research in the social scientific perspective on religious institutions and experiences.[1][2] The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion is published by the society to provide a forum for empirical papers in the topic area. On the society's home page, it is clear that they promote interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration - with organizations etc. - carried out by prominent members.[3][4] (See Hoesly and nondenominationals, for example, as gleaned from the references[5] — one of Hoesly's texts: “‘Need a Minister? [...]"[6]).
