Answer 1

Answer:

Max Weber

Explanation:

According to the description of the aims of the religious movement that James wants to start, we can agree that he wants to alienate people, since he wants them to feel insecure and afraid of the fate that awaits them. This form of alienation based on religious concepts is part of Max Weber's theory. According to Weber, the watch works on the basis of alienation, allowing society to hide what it really is and adopt a precarious position, but which reaches the will or decision of a certain leader.
