Informed by â€˜critical religionâ€™ perspective in Religious Studies and postcolonial self-reflection in Sociology, this book interrogates the ideas of â€˜religionâ€™ and â€˜the secularâ€™ in social theory and Sociology. It argues that as long as social theory and sociological discourse embed the religion-secular distinction and locate themselves on the â€˜secularâ€™ side of the binary, Sociology will continue to serve the very ideologies it tries to subvert â€“ namely Western modernity/coloniality.Â
