Reading sociology

So I am going through my mid-life and trying to find out what life is all about!
The 'A' level book starts with Religion.
Apparently, they say, religion is a form of categorisation to 'haves' and 'have nots'.
It defines what Sects and Cults are, which is quite interesting as the Methodist church was a sect.
Cults are short lived and can end in catastrophe.In essence a means of making one ego maniac money.

What I did think interesting is the link of Marxism and religion.
Apparently, with Marxism doing away with class or categorisation, (except in Animal Farm!) means that there is no need for religion.
Hence, why Russia tried to get rid of the Christian church and others.

I will update you on more bits of info as I go along.
