Quote:Religion is mostly about the origins and why of things, and from what I've read structural functionism isn't really concerned with that, correct?
IF you mean rational and materialist, yes,at least for me. I also use theoretical Marxism and cultural relativism.
Anthropology is the study of meaning,but not of truth any definitive sense.The meaning one ascribes to customs,rituals beliefs and social institutions depends on one's approach. Academic differences can be very robust. EG Put a symbolic interactionist and a structural functionalist together and stand back.
