There can be no doubt that the academic study of religion emerged out  of European colonialism. There are various lines of descent for the  discipline, and like much of the humanities and social sciences, they  all lead back to colonialism, and in particular the nineteenth and early  twentieth centuries.

These are some initial thoughts on this major issue. A written version of this episode can be found at: https://medium.com/religion-bites/decolonisation-of-religious-studies-993727c6d1bc
