Talk:Collective effervescence

Half of the pictures are just pictures of anarchists or other left-wing radicals marching. They have clearly to do with the topic. There are a few pictures of folks rioting, which might be more apropos. 201.124.2.23 (talk) 07:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The article erroneously states that collective effervescence is the basis of religion. It should be collective conscience. Collective effervescence is a notion used by Durkheim to explain how a clan creates totemism.

Too much jargon
The article could be broken down for easier understanding and also, the concept is narrowed down to religion and not explained broadly. Lator99 (talk) 02:15, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
