The three of them have had huge contributions to the field of sociology and since religion (in the broader sense) is one of the very powerful forces in most societies it makes sense to devote some time to study it. Weber is interested in the context in which religions are practiced more than the content of each

In sociology, two concepts that we have been taught are the ascribed status and the achieved status. In other words, what a person is born with and what he/she becomes. Nearly every person is given a name as soon as he/she is born; making it his/her ascribed status. At this point, a name is merely a label. However, its significance increases as life goes on.
