AbstractIn this research, considering the types of relationship between science and religion (conflict, contrast, intersection and contact), the opinions of a number of sociologists have been examined. Theorists such as Comte, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, etc. have a conflicting point of view and believe that with the transition of societies from traditional to modern and the dominance of experimental science and the modern way of thinking, the position of religion in the modern era is weakened and science takes its place. Some other sociologists like Spencer believe in interaction and others like Simmel believe in separation (independence) between science and religion. Habermas's strategy is the interaction of science and religion, and he considers the social life of modern societies impossible in the absence of religion and religious ethics. Giddens is also against the reduction of the influence of religion with the progress of modernity in the modern world, but he proposes religious rethinking. The findings show that there is no single point of view in sociology that can adequately cover all the complexities related to the relationship between science and religion. But it can be said that the views of classical sociologists based on conflict are changing towards the views based on the interaction of science and religion in the later theories of sociology, which is a kind of peaceful coexistence between modernity and science on the one hand and religion on the other.
