ABSTRACT
In the beginning, Collins' work had primarily an impact on American sociology, but it soon impacted sociology globally, especially in the study of gender and sexuality. In addition, Page and Yip have used intersectionality in their edited book on religion and sexuality, which include case studies from different parts of the world. So far, we have examined how intersectionality contributes to the sociology by including multiple and complex intersections of various dimensions. In particular, intersectionality may expand the sociology of religion by emphasizing how religion is linked to a wide set of dimensions, such as race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexuality, politics and nation, and the ways in which these dimensions intersect. We have seen how feminist research and intersectionality tends to operate with a monolithic and binary view of religion, and that Collins criticizes the binary view of reason and faith and calls for explorations of how the two are related.
