Explanation:

• For the first question, Emile Durkheim's work in sociology emphasizes the separation of the sacred (religious, spiritual) and the profane (ordinary, non - religious) in religions.
• For the second question, an ecclesia is a large, established religious organization that often has a broad membership base compared to a church (which can be more local or denominational), a sect (a smaller, more exclusive group), and a cult (a very small, often deviant group).
• For the third question, social promotion is the practice of moving students to the next grade level without them having mastered the previous material. Tracking is about sorting students into different educational paths, functional illiteracy is about a lack of basic literacy skills, and mainstreaming is about integrating special - needs students into regular classrooms.
• For the fourth question, historical Gallup poll data (while it can vary slightly over time) has shown that around 56% of Americans have indicated that religion is very important in their lives in 2007 - related polls.
