Abstract
The topic of schisms and sects is a traditional area of interest and systematic theorizing of sociologists of religion, at least since Weber and Troeltsch. Traditionally, sociology of religion concerns the relationships and connections between social and historical conditions that shift societies from local integrated communities into modern large-scale industrial bureaucratic structures and changes social forms of religious groups. However, there are no large datasets and appropriate models in the sociology of religion, allowing the scholars to asses similarities and diversities of religious fragmentation across different religious traditions and under divergent social and historical conditions. The presented project aims on analyzing patterns of schism of five global religions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism) based on computational methods developed in biology and resulted in phylogenetic models to assess similarities and differences in fragmentations and unifications under different social and historical conditions connected to state ideology, ethics, or economic system. The main goal of the talk is to evaluate and discuss the contribution and new insights into the systematic approaches from natural sciences for the study of religious schisms.
