Abstract

In this reply I engage with the response articles by Kocku von Stuckrad, Katja Rakow, Eric Venbrux, Arjan Sterken, and Kees de Groot. Noting where we agree, disagree, and seem to talk past each other, I clarify what I consider to be the subject matter and the fundamental problems and methods in the systematic study of religion.
