Religion and social change

• Calvinism+Capitalism= Weber's idea of protestant work ethic in industrial England, Calvinism as a capitalist force
• Hinduism+Confucism= both come from countries where capitalism took longer due to emphasis of community in religion
• Civil rights= Bruce compared the success of the Civil rights movement to the New Christian Right, both used religion but Civil rights moved with social change + didn't shame people
• Marxism= Casanova found that the church aided oppressed citizens under militarized Latin America. The Liberation Thesis
• Bloch established the principle of hope, religion has a dual role as both conservative and social change
