Resource summary
Explanations of secularisation
Rationalisation
Rational ways of thinking replace religious ones
Disenchantment
The protestant reformation saw god as existing outside of the world not in it
events couldn't be explained as an act of god
the development of science undermined the religious world view
Technological world view
replaced religious ways of thinking as events could be explained with technology
Structural differentiation
many different institutions develop to take on the roles previously performed by the church
religion has become separated from wider society and privatised in the home and family
religion has lost its powers of education to the state
Social and cultural diversity
Industrialisation has caused society to become more diverse
caused overall belief to fall
Religious diversity
The protestant refomation caused a number of different sects to appear from the catholic church
the variety if different beliefs on offer caused overall confident in religion to decline due to the multiple versions of the 'truth'
Contradictions of secularisation
Cultural defense
religion provides a focus for the defense of national/group identity against an external force
Cultural transition
religion provides a sense of community for ethnic groups living in a different culture
The Spiritual revolution
traditional religion is giving way to new age spirituality that emphasises personal development
The growth of the New Age was not equal to the fall in traditional religion, so it was not replacing it
traditional religion was in decline because of its demand for high discipline which does not correlate with a post modern society
P.M. emphasises personal development and fulfilment
