| Summary: | Historically, religion in Western Europe has tended to be defined by churches which distinguish themselves doctrinally. Therefore, religion is commonly thought of in doctrinal, cognitive terms. However, since the Second World War ended by affirming democracy and human rights, the pedagogical system has been subject to a silent revolution, and consequently, religion has been subject to a subtle change. New generations have been taught to question authorities, including religious ones. Religion has become regarded less as allegiance to doctrines and more as an emotional affiliation. This post-dogmatic stance is not implicitly superficial, volatile or egocentric. It may be intense, integrated and social. It is however related to other types of networks and media than those of the traditional churches, and therefore is more difficult to trace sociologically. |
