Are we still secular? If not, what can one possibly mean by
"post-secular"? The answers depend on what one considers secular as
well as the people, societies, and institutions that one considers.
Post-Secular Society argues for the experience of living in a
secular world and a secular age and the experience of living
without religion as a normal condition.
Religion in the Western world is often described as being marked
to some degree by both innovation and disarray. The past couple of
decades have seen the emergence of reformulated versions of
theories of secularization, variants of rational choice and
supply-side models of religion, and new theoretical perspectives on
de-secularization of religion. In spite of these different
approaches and perspectives, a majority of scholars agree that the
West is experiencing a general "resurgence" of religion and that
the public visibility of religious actors and discourses is on the
rise across most Western societies.
Post-Secular Society discusses the changes in religion related
to globalization, as well as New Age and other forms of popular
religion. The contributors review religion that is rooted in the
globalized political economy, and the relationship of
post-secularism to popular and consumer culture. They also detail
current innovative discourse as a religious belief system; discuss
theories of the post-secular, religious, and spiritual well-being;
and consider healing practices in Finland and environmentalism.
