Why are some sociologists critical of the "religious economy" approach to looking at religious involvement?
A) Sociologists think that economics is not a useful field to draw from.
B) The approach assumes that people are largely forced into their religious beliefs rather than accounting for human choice and diversity.
C) It overestimates the extent to which people rationally pick and choose among different religions, as if they were shopping for a new car or a pair of shoes.
D) The religious economy approach mirrors orthodox Marxism's critique of political economy too much to be applied to religion.
E) Most sociologists think that economists should focus on hard economic data instead of human social behaviors.
