Social hierarchies constitute the basic dynamics of collectivist structures. In other words, hierarchical structures in society tend to establish strong organized structures by their nature. The same situation is true for the religious community. The collective nature of a religious commu-nity manifests itself best in its hierarchical structure. In this study, how hierarchical structures or-ganize religious unity (collectivism) is discussed and three types of hierarchies are determined in this context. The first is the concrete hierarchy. This is determined by the institutional structure of reli-gion, it is a hard hierarchy. The second is the spiritual hierarchy. This is determined by the non-institutional nature of religion. The founder of the religion (prophet) is at the head of the spiritual hierarchy. In turn, people close to him are placed in the layers of the hierarchy. The third is the chronological hierarchy. This hierarchy defines the imperious nature of traditions. If a religious tra-dition has become a reference for an individual or a society that wants to reach the religious message, it means a chronological hierarchy has been established there. Hierarchical structures lead to the exclusion of individualistic understandings. As hierarchical structures increase, individualization decreases, as hierarchical structures decrease, individualization increases.
