When I started out my work in sociology of religion, almost everyone in the field believed in what generally was called secularization theory, which [is] a thesis that modernity leads to decline of religion. The more modernity, the less religion.… I changed my mind not because of any religious or philosophical changes on my own, but simply because I concluded that the evidence simply did not support this thesis. And I was not the only one. Almost everyone in the field came to the same conclusion.… Contrary to that theory… if you look at the contemporary world, to describe it as secular is impossible. The real situation is that most of the world is as religious as it ever was. You have enormous explosions of religion in the world.… In fact, you can say every major religious tradition has been going through a period of resurgence in the last thirty, forty years or so. Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, you name it; anything but secularization.32
