A society whose members are united by the fact that they think in the same way in regard to the sacred world and its relations with the profane world, and by the fact that they translate these common ideas into common practices, is what is called a Church. In all history, we do not find a single religion without a Church.
Emile DurkheimScience cannot describe individuals, but only types. If human societies cannot be classified, they must remain inaccessible to scientific description.
