Description
Summary:This article tries to answer two questions. What is the ontological status of the concept of "implicit religion" and what are its uses? It concludes that "implicit religion" does not exist as a thing; it is a scholar's tool.

It is potentially useful when it can enable one to highlight connections between fields that are otherwise understood as distinct from one another.
