Description
Summary:Scholarly debates continue to abound on the theme and the theory of secularization and its counterpart, sacralization.

The focus will be on what Berger terms "subjective secularization," and evidence from a longitudinal study of British subjects surveyed from 1991 to 2007 will provide substantial support for a subjective secularization thesis.
