Catatan
- ↑ Sementara agama susah untuk didefinisikan, sebuah model standar dari agama, digunakan dalam perkuliahan religious studies, diajukan oleh Clifford Geertz, yang dengan sederhana menyebutnya sebagai sebuah "sistem kultural" (Clifford Geertz, Religion as a Cultural System, 1973). Sebuah kritikan untuk model Geertz oleh Talal Asad mengategorikan agama sebagai "sebuah kategori antropologikal." (Talal Asad, The Construction of Religion as an Anthropological Category, 1982.)
