Abstract
The study of social movements and the sociology of religion share similarities and they can benefit from each other. Theorizing for both fields is somehow similar. This paper is an attempt to briefly present the supply-side and resource mobilization theories in the study of the sociology of religion and literature on social movements. This paper is a sort of a comparative analysis on the sociology of religion and literature on social movements. It presents a brief literature overview of the supply-side theory, and some examples of studies that have used this model; a brief overview of the resource mobilization theory; and finally, an assessment of the recruitment tactics and commitment levels in both of these fields of sociology.
