Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the revolutionary changes in religious beliefs and institutions that characterize contemporary society. The author demonstrates that the predominant influence of religion in human life has diminished over time, replaced by secular control and rational thought. This ongoing decline in the power of religion is documented through comparisons to non-Western societies, which have retained a much more religious character, and through analysis of the evolution of religious practices from primitive animism to modern secularism. The book argues that the shift toward secularization is a defining feature of the development of civilization, driven by advances in science, technology, and the growth of rational inquiry. This process of secularization has resulted in a narrowing of the sphere of religion's influence and a steady increase in the authority and control exercised by secular institutions.
