Durkheim founded sociology as an academic discipline, and really began the process in the Abrahamic world of taking non-monotheistic religious traditions intellectually seriously. What he found though, is when you open the definition wide enough for Sanatan Dharma ('Hinduism') and Confucianism, a lot of supposedly secular society has to be looked at as religious-ish. What is your motivation?
