| Summary: | The distinction between "cultural" and "institutional" secularization is a necessity if the secularization debate is to be fruitful. Only by recognizing the different forces producing each of these kinds of secularization is it possible to understand the relative growth of the least secularized religious bodies in societies which, if anything, are still becoming more "secular." Wide variations in capacity to implement norms between denominations in the one society or culture are used to argue that histories of religious conflict, denominational schooling, etc., are at least as relevant for institutional cohesion as the forces of cultural secularization. |
