Topic 4- religion, renewal and choice
Topic 4- Religion, renewal and choice. In this topic we examine three main alternatives to secularisation theory:
- Theories of late modernity and postmodernity-these argue that religion is not declining but merely changing as society develops.
- Religious market theory- the view that secularisation is only one stage of a constant cycle of secularisation, revival and renewal.
- Existential security theory- the view that religion has declined in richer countries because they are more economically secure.
