One of the most important products of the bourgeois revolutions is the idea of civil society. In general, this idea becomes dominant within the globe. However, in some parts of the world, this idea did not have such success. Accordingly, different forms of civil engagements are developing there. One of the most important challenges to civil society is religion. Unlike the praxis of civil society which considers religion as a private matter of individuals, religions tend to fulfill every part of social and political life. From this point if view, we can see that these ideas are (in)compatible. Goal of this session is to show how different religions fit in the idea of civil society and to explore political consequences of it. Altogether, this is a significant challenge for Sociology of religion which should give the answers on these questions.
