Description

Originally published in 1992, this landmark Routledge Revivals edition challenges fundamental assumptions in the sociology of religion and culture by reframing Western religion not as science or morality, but as a promise of happiness. The author presents a learned and incisive analysis of how religious belief functions within modern Western societies, examining the cultural forces that shape contemporary spirituality. This work offers essential perspectives for students and scholars studying religion, cultural sociology, and the broader character of modernity. The text explores the intersection of religious practice, cultural values, and social transformation, providing critical insights into why Western societies have shifted their relationship with traditional religious institutions. Whether you are researching the sociology of religion, cultural change, or the evolution of modern thought, this revival edition brings a significant twentieth-century analysis back into circulation with renewed relevance to contemporary discussions about belief, meaning-making, and social cohesion.
