Secularisation can mean many quite different things - rising
unbelief, the privatisation of belief, weakening denominational
identity, the development of a religiously neutral state. This book
reveals both the many-sidedness of secularisation and the great
unevenness with which it affected different areas of life. France
is the classic example of the secularisation of society in the
later nineteenth century. Church and school, then church and state,
were separated. Town councils tore down crosses and banned
processions. Teachers and doctors were seen as a new priesthood.
Yet even in France things were not so simple. In the west, most
people remained practising Catholics, and Lourdes demonstrated the
continuing vitality of 'popular religion'. When we look at Germany
and England, or compare Catholics with Protestants and Jews, the
picture becomes even more complex. This book examines the nature
and causes of religious change in the three countries, and the
class, gender and regional differences within each.
