The Invisible Religion is a modern classic of social science. Its
influence goes well beyond sociology as it continues to inspire
research in such diverse fields as sociology of knowledge,
ethnology, theology, sociology of religion, and religious studies.
In this volume, the author endeavours to answer one of the most
important questions regarding religion in modern times: Are Western
societies indeed becoming more secular as they modernize? His
surprising answer is still part of the ongoing debates about
secularization as he argues that rather than a decline of religion,
we are witnessing a shift from an older Church-centered form, to
another invisible and still largely unexplored form of religion.
Explaining why focusing only on Church when discussing religion is
inadequate, this book presents a thorough case for reframing the
question of the status of religion in modern life in a way that
makes visible forms of religion hitherto unseen, and sketches some
aspects of this new form. As such, it will appeal to sociologists
with interests in social theory, religion, and the secularization
thesis.
