Describing secularization -- Explaining secularization -- Clarifying secularization -- Religion outside the churches -- Contemporary spirituality -- Superstition -- The supply-side alternative -- Unexceptional America -- Secularization elsewhere -- Will conflict reverse secularization? The decline in power, popularity and prestige of religion across the modern world is not a short-term or localized trend nor is it an accident. It is a consequence of subtle but powerful features of modernization. Renowned sociologist, Steve Bruce, elaborates the secularization paradigm and defends it against a wide variety of recent attempts at rebuttal and refutation. Using the best available statistical and qualitative evidence Bruce considers the implications for the secularization paradigm of the extent to which new religious movements or New Age spiritualities are replacing religion.
