Critically evaluate the symbolic interactionists' perspective on religion.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. A common criticism is that symbolic interactionists' focus on micro-level behavior ignores the ways that religion promotes social inequality at the macro level. Conflict theorists and feminist scholars, especially, maintain that people often use religion to justify violence and women's subordination. Some critics also wonder if interactionists paint too rosy a picture of religion even on a micro level because people's beliefs can wreak considerable havoc.
