This book is an empirical comparative study of the complexity of
religion in the public spheres of the five Nordic countries. The
result of a five-year collaborative research project, the work
examines how increasingly religiously diverse Nordic societies
regulate, debate, and negotiate religion in the state, the polity,
the media, and civil society. The project finds that there are
seemingly contradictory religious trends at different social
levels: a growing secularization at the individual level, and a
deprivatization of religion in politics, the media, and civil
society. It offers a critique of the current theories of
secularization and the return of religion, introducing religious
complexity as an alternative concept to understand these paradoxes.
This book is for scholars, students, and readers with an interest
in understanding the public role of religion in the West.
