It demonstrates that the publics of virtually all advanced industrial societies have been moving toward more secular orientations during the past half century, but also that the world as a whole now has more people with traditional religious views than ever before. This second edition expands the theory and provides new and updated evidence from a broad perspective and in a wide range of countries. This confirms that religiosity persists most strongly among vulnerable populations, especially in poorer nations and in failed states. Conversely, a systematic erosion of religious practices, values and beliefs has occurred among the more prosperous strata in rich nations. 410 0$aCambridge studies in social theory, religion and politics. 517 3 $aSacred & Secular 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aSecularism 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 0$aSecularism. 676 $a306.6 686 $aPOL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aNorris$b Pippa$0144668 702 $aInglehart$b Ronald 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781976703321 996 $aSacred and secular$93719874 997 $aUNINA
