Post-Materialist Religion discusses the transformations of the
individual's worldview in contemporary modern societies, and the
role general societal value change plays in these. In doing so,
Mika Lassander brings into conversation sociological theories of
secularisation and social-psychological theories of interpersonal
relations, the development of morality, and the nature of basic
human values. The long-term decline of traditional religiosity in
Europe and the emerging ethos that can be described as post-secular
have brought religion and values back into popular discussion. One
important theme in these discussions is about the links between
religion and values, with the most common assumption being that
religions are the source of individuals' values. This book argues
for the opposite view, suggesting that religions, or people's
worldviews in general, reflect the individual's priorities. Mika
Lassander argues that the transformation of the individual's
worldview is a direct consequence of the social and economical
changes in European societies since the Second World War. He
suggests that the decline of traditional religiosity is not an
indication of linear secularisation or of forgetting traditions,
but an indication of the loss of relevance of some aspects of the
traditional institutional religions. Furthermore, he argues that
this is not an indication of the loss of ethical value base, but,
rather, a change in the value base and consequently the
transformation of the legitimating framework of this value base.
