چکیده:
The concept of God, after being marginalized in the sociology of religion for a long time, has regained its importance through new approaches in the sociology of religion. This article, emphasizing the concept of God as one of the most fundamental concepts in the sociology of religion and with a sociological and extra-religious approach, seeks to examine the origins, dynamics, and social effects of the concept of God. Although this concept is not identical to the transcendence of God and should not be confused with it, because our concept and perception of God evolve and develop, whereas the transcendent existence of God is free from any form of evolution and development. The results of this study show that, in addition to psychological and anthropological roots, the sociological concept of God is in a dialectical relationship where it is both a product of various social structures and conditions and deeply influences them. This concept has always been evolving and dynamic throughout human social life, such that after the Enlightenment and in the modern and postmodern eras, it has undergone many transformations. Proponents of reconstructing the concept of God also emphasize a new understanding that is appropriate to the new conditions of humans, society, and the world.

Inglehart also believes that the experience of living under conditions lacking human security during the years of personality development will shape the demand for religion and the precedence that people give to religious values and concepts.
In summary, in the approach of sociologists, although the concept of God is a human product, it can be as real as other forms of actual social reality; however, human understanding of God varies according to societies, eras, and power structures.
The Existence of Evil in the World According to some thinkers, natural theology grew in the 16th and 17th centuries in reaction to religious wars, and facing social catastrophes caused an alarm in European societies, in such a way that a reaction occurred in creating a common, rational, transcendent, and pluralistic concept of God from the Christian tradition.
In this article, emphasis has been placed on the concept of God as one of the most fundamental aspects of the sociology of religion and one of the most powerful human social and cultural manifestations.
