SOC 222 - Secularization and Modern Society: The Demise of Religion?


FDR: SS4, GE6D
Credits: 3
When Offered: Not offered in 2009-2010

For some years, secularization theory, the view that political and economic “modernization” inevitably produces religion’s demise, was nearly the consensus among social scientists. More recently, scholars have been forced to question this once common position. Religion seems to remain a powerful force in today’s world. This course explores this central debate in the sociology of religion.Eastwood.
