Many indicators of traditional forms of Christian religiosity in Western Europe have declined during the modern era: religious belief, church attendance, and so on. About this, there is no dispute.

520 |a Many indicators of traditional forms of Christian religiosity in Western Europe have declined during the modern era: religious belief, church attendance, and so on. About this, there is no dispute. But what does this decline mean? And why has it occurred? For many years, the conventional wisdom was “secularization.” No longer, at least not in North America., All this revisionism has now spawned some antirevisionism. A number of scholars, most of them Europeans, have banded together in defense of the old paradigm (e.g., David Voas, Alasdair Crockett, and Pippa Norris). One of these stalwarts is Steve Bruce. This is Bruce's third book on secularization, and it is also his best. Secularization does not present much new material; the contents are mostly recycled and/or repackaged.
