Summary
Traces the emergence of secularity and the processes of secularization in the modern age, and challenges the idea that the secular takes hold in a world where religion is experienced as a loss or where religions are subtracted from the… culture. The Protestant Reformation, with its emphasis on breaking down the invidious political structures of the Catholic Church, provides the starting point down the road to the secular age. Taylor concludes that a focus on the religious has never been lost in Western culture, but that it is one among many stories striving for acceptance. 2007.
