He does, but not as a separate category. There's a really
interesting article by Bradford Verter “Spiritual
Capital: Theorizing Religion with Bourdieu Against Bourdieu” Sociological Theory
21.2 June 2003, 150-174. Verter extends
and develops some of Bourdieu's ideas - really fine piece, and I recommend it to
the list in general.
Verter's
PhD was on the OTO and magick - some years ago now but as far as I know it
hasn't been published. I have a copy and it's pretty good work.
Best,
