During the twentieth century, Britain turned from one of the most
deeply religious nations of the world into one of the most
secularised nations. This book provides a comprehensive account of
religion in British society and culture between 1900 and 2000. It
traces how Christian Puritanism and respectability framed the
people amidst world wars, economic depressions, and social protest,
and how until the 1950s religious revivals fostered mass
enthusiasm. It then examines the sudden and dramatic changes seen
in the 1960's and the appearance of religious militancy in the
1980s and 1990s. With a focus on the themes of faith cultures,
secularisation, religious militancy and the spiritual revolution of
the New Age, this book uses people's own experiences and the
stories of the churches to display the diversity and richness of
British religion. Suitable for undergraduate students studying
modern British history, church history and sociology of religion.
