Max Weber

Explanation:

Max weber, also known as the father or founder of sociology, was the first to acknowledge the power and position held by the priests, ministers, rabbis, and other religious figures in different societies, because prior to him the power in sociology was closely related to money and knowledge, he added the importance of this kind of people, or religious authorities into the element of class status.
