Evaluation of the Functionalist Perspective on Religion
Functionalists believe society is a system of connected parts or institutions such as religion, family and economy. They compare it to an organism with needs that have to be met in order to survive by these institutions. Each institution performs functions that maintain society through meeting its needs.
The most basic need is social order and solidarity facilitating cooperation among its citizens. The foundation of this order is value consensus which is the shared norms and values of its members; without value consensus its members focusing on their own desires with break society down.

Another evaluation for Durkheim is that his study is a case study that focuses on a single, small group of people which makes it lack generalizability- Durkheim's conclusions from this study is
unfit for application to other groups.
