The economics of religion applies socio- economic theory and methods to explain the religious behaviour patterns of individuals, groups or cultures and the social consequences of such behavior. An example of the first is Adam Smith's analysis of the effect of competition and government regulation (or support) for religious denominations on the quantity and quality of religious services.〔• Adam Smith, 1776 1904. ''Wealth of Nations'', (Book V, Chapter I. ) • Gary M. Anderson, 1988. "Mr. Smith and the Preachers: The Economics of Religion in the ''Wealth of Nations''," ''Journal of Political Economy'', 96(5), p (p. 1066 )-1088. Reprinted in Paul Oslington, ed., 2003. ''Economics and Religion'', Elgar, v. 1, pp. (336 )-(358. )〕 An example of the second is Max Weber's thesis that the Protestant ethic promoted the rise of capitalism.〔• Max Weber, () 1920.

"The Beloved Myth: Protestantism and the Rise of Industrial Capitalism in Nineteenth-Century Europe," ''Social Forces'', 80(2), pp. (509-553 ) (press +).〕 Religious (or theological) economics is a related subject sometimes overlapping or conflated with the economics of religion. It uses religious principles to evaluate economic perspectives or vice versa.〔For example, the (''Journal of Markets & Morality'' ) of the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty and (''Faith & Economics'' ) of the Association of Christian Economists. • Paul Oslington, ed., 2003.
