- In what regards does social &
cultural diversity lead to greater
secularisation?
- In pre-industrial

which shows that diversity in
society & culture gives freedom to
people to choose whether they
want to follow the religion or not.

occupations, cultures & lifestyles
undermines religion. Even those who remain
religious can't avoid knowing many of those
around them hold very different views
