Welcome, Religion - Wesleyan University Our goal in the Religion department at Wesleyan is to understand religion, religions, and how these have been studied. Religion departments, including those with Wesleyan's distinctive approach, are not in the business of making students religious. Today, our goal is more demanding because of the so-called "return of religion," especially in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. This growth has not always been welcomed in university circles, which have invested much in European theories of secularization that envision the disappearance of religion. However, scholars have come to realize that the religious landscape of the United States serves as more than a setting for thriving religious competition; it has become a chief site of the academic study of religion. Liberal arts departments of religion have played a key role in redefining the field. In this context, the Wesleyan Department of Religion is deliberately interdisciplinary. We explore religion and religions using historiographic, social scientific, textual, and philosophical methodologies. Therefore, Religion serves as a perfect major in a liberal arts education.
