The Social Reality of Religion
Abstract
of great satisfaction to sociologists generally in the Western world that the study of the uses of sociology has attracted so much attention in America, and has absorbed so much of the energies and resources of the profession, and, moreover, of the inventiveness which has gone into the opening up of new paths into the future. We wish our colleagues the best of good fortune; our own branch of the profession cannot but profit in the highest degree from contact with theirs. We owe, in fact, an immense debt to them for having faced the special difficulties that confront them in the way they have done, and we turn back to the situation in our own

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
