The belief that religion was dying became the conventional wisdom in the social sciences during most of the twentieth century. The traditional secularization thesis needs updating, however, religion has not disappeared and is unlikely to do so. Nevertheless, the concept of secularization captures an important part of what is going on. This book develops a theory of existential security. It demonstrates that the publics of virtually all advanced industrial societies have been moving toward more secular orientations during the past half century, but also that the world as a whole now has more people with traditional religious views than ever before. This second edition expands the theory and provides new and updated evidence from a broad perspective and in a wide range of countries. This confirms that religiosity persists most strongly among vulnerable populations, especially in poorer nations and in failed states. Conversely, a systematic erosion of religious practices, values, and beliefs has occurred among the more prosperous strata in rich nations"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001398580 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001398580 650_0 $$aReligion and politics. 001398580 650_0 $$aSecularism. 001398580 7001_ $$aInglehart, Ronald. 001398580 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNorris, Pippa.$$tSacred and secular.$$b2nd ed.$$dCambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9781107011281$$w(DLC) 2011002214$$w(OCoLC)698626384 001398580 830_0 $$aCambridge studies in social theory, religion, and politics. 001398580 8520_ $$bacq 001398580 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001398580 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=775009$$zOnline Access 001398580 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:456702$$pGLOBAL_SET 001398580 980__ $$aEBOOK 001398580 980__ $$aBIB 001398580 982__ $$aEbook 001398580 983__ $$aOnline 001398580 994__ $$a92$$bISE
