George Albert Coe

George Albert Coe (March 26, 1862 in Monroe County, New York[1]–1951) was an educational theorist and scholar of religion.

Alongside William James and Edwin Diller Starbuck he has been described as "one of the three leading pioneers in psychology of religion".

[10] He considered that "we are not done with Marxism when we weight the merits and demerits of the Soviet government, nor when we choose between communist and anti-communist ideology" due to this ethical concern.

[11] He was one of 450 figures to sign a statement defending the "constitutional rights of the Communist Party of the United States"[12] and was involved in the 'National Non-Partisan Committee' to defend those in the Smith Act trials of Communist Party leaders.

[14][15] He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from the University of Southern California.
