12:Secularisation
- overview
- whilst many sociologists is
occuring, others point to the
growth of religious
fundamentalism in mordern
societies
- Casanova (1994) argues
that secularisation can
take 3 forms
- DIFFERENTIATION: when
non-religious spheres, such
as the economy become
separate from religion
- DECLINE
OF
BELIEFS:
people
begin to
cease
holding
religious
beliefs
- PRIVATISATION:
when religion
disengages from public
life and ceasea trying to
influence people lifes
- casanova only sees
the first type of
secularisation
occuring. Religion no
longer has a centeral
positionin mordern
societies but neither
does it fade away

- secularisation is hard
to measure because
religion is hard to
measure
- despite this evidence
seems to suggest that
secularisation IS occuring:
- 1.reduction in
religious attendance
- 2.reduction in
relihious belief and
growth of agnostic/
athesism
- 3.although
NRM are
popular, this
actually
supports
secularisation
theory- NRM
are generally
short lived and
exoctic,
suggesting
that religion is
not take
seriously any
more.

- Desacrilisation and Rationalisation
- Desacrilisation: is a process whereby the world no longer appears a sacred/ spiritual
place under the control of supernatural forces. People actions are no longer directed by
religious beliefs of goals
- Rationalisation:is a process by which more and more areas of life become goverened
according to rational principles. For example, rational activity is goverened by the careful
calculation of profit and loss; worl is prganised to maximise economic growth; and laws
are not produced on a ruler's irrational whim.
