Abstract
This article tries to discuss the anthropological approach in religious studies. Anthropology aims to appreciate symbols, norms and society prevailing systems. Religion is a cultural phenomenon. In other word, as a social science, anthropology does not discuss the “actual religion” or sacred dogma. The center of attention is human activity as a cultural phenomenon. This requirement can be interpreted as a response of religious society to the changes that occur rapidly. Religious studies through a more anthropological approach can describe the role of human / religious community in action, so that religion is defined as part of lives (culture) of individuals or groups, which each adherent has authority in understanding the religion and apply it.
