The results show that religious disaffiliation is a life change that …

Post-Secular Society
Characteristics of Contemporary Religious Change
This chapter focuses on changes in contemporary religion and in particular in relation to the globalization process. Globally, one aspect of religious change is that fundamentalist religious movements are thriving, aiming at reviving tradition, and making religion influential again in contemporary society.

Contemporary fundamentalist Christianity in Finland

Multiple bodies in the spirituality of the gay porn star McCree
Body modification practices have lately gained growing visibility in contemporary Western cultures. It is more like a trend or fashion ranging from, on the on hand, decorative tattoos and piercing, to branding, implants and surgery on the other.

However, despite …
