Abstract

Abstract This chapter provides a broad outline of the book’s argument, shifting the ground from studying religion to studying the effects of how dominant groups (both within and outside of academia) use the category “religion” to create the impression of certain sorts of naturally set-apart religious things that are somehow directly linked to human nature.
