N2  - Mitsutoshi Horii is Professor at Shumei University in Japan, and Principal of Chaucer College, UK. Informed by the critical religion perspective in religious studies and postcolonial self-reflection in sociology, this book interrogates the ideas of religion and the secular in social theory and sociology. It argues that as long as social theory and sociological discourse embeds the religion-secular distinction and locates itself on the secular side of the binary, sociology will continue to serve the very ideologies it tries to subvert namely Western modernity/coloniality. Horii raises fundamental epistemological questions and deep ontological issues in the field of the sociology of religion.
