The Four M's of Religion: Magic, Membership, Morality and Mysticism

The various aspects of religion can be grouped under four types. I have given them names which start with M: Magic, Membership, Morality, and Mysticism. This is not just an exercise in mnemonics. Distinguishing among the four M's helps clarify some of our controversies in sociology of religion....
