Abstract: This article analyzes the relationship between religion and social stratification through the lens of Max Weber's sociology of religion. Drawing on analytical categories such as social action, theodicy, rationalization, and elective affinities, it discusses how different social groups assign meaning to their life conditions through specific religious frameworks. Religion is examined as a symbolic instrument that legitimizes social inequalities by providing explanations for suffering and happiness according to social strata. The study highlights how religion operates as both a reflection of and a structuring force within social hierarchies, shaping individual and collective ways of life.
