The economics of religion was developed on the basis of Hume’s assumption of the motivational neutrality of beliefs on the one hand, and, on the other hand, on the work of Adam Smith on religious goods as standard goods. This article aims to go beyond the standard economic approach of religion in rehabilitating the role of beliefs via interpretative rationality and the identity of people. In turn, an analysis of an embedded market in religion follows. Classification JEL : B41, N00
