The Secular Sacred Canopy: A Paradigm Revision in the Study of Secularization
This article revisits and revises the secularization paradigm in light of late-stage secularization. Whereas secularization theory, influenced by Peter Berger, holds that structural differentiation, rationalization, pluralism, and individualization erode religious authority, we argue that these same processes facilitated the emergence of a secular sacred canopy. Drawing from recent developments in cultural sociology, we demonstrate how scientific…
Occasional Religious Practice: Valuing a Very Ordinary Religious Experience
Religious Polarization in Europe
We define two types of religious polarization and investigate the extent to which they are present across European countries, based on data from the 2008 to 2017 European Values Study and hierarchical linear modeling. The first type is polarization by religiosity, with declines in the middle ground between the actively religious and the nonreligious as secularization reaches an advanced stage. The second type is issue polarization, with the relig…

Nonreligion and Secularity in Canada: Introduction
The Secular Diaspora in Canada
Almost all the existing research in the subfield of nonreligion and secularity studies has focused to date on majority populations (Whites from Christian family backgrounds) in North America and Europe. Using data from the 2011 National Household Survey and the 2013–2017 General Social Surveys, this research note is a first step towards better understanding the ethno-racial and immigrant diversity within the nonreligious population of one nation,…
None of the Above: Nonreligious Identity in the US and Canada
This book examines the nearly one-quarter of American and Canadian adults who say they have no religion. Who are they? Why, and where, has this population grown? How do religious nones in the United States and Canada compare? What are the dynamics of being a religious none in contemporary America and Canada, and how does this willful distance from organized religion impact other aspects of daily and social life? This book turns to survey and inte…
Religious Socialization and Millennial Involvement in Organized and Digital Nonbelief Activities
Drawing on a representative survey sample of just over 2,500 young adult respondents between the ages of 18 and 35 from across the USA and Canada, our study seeks to understand who exactly takes part in organized and digital nonbelief activities. Our findings show that (a) there is a positive association between religious childhood socialization and the likelihood of being involved with organized and digital atheist, humanist and secularist activ…

Religious-Secular Polarization Compared: The Cases of Quebec and British Columbia
For many decades now, there has been a general decline of traditional indicators of religiosity in both Quebec and British Columbia. New generations are being born and raised in much more secular social contexts than in years past. However, this general trend of decline masks many differences between the two Canadian provinces, and does not imply a complete disappearance of religion from society. Certain groups of believers have been able to main…

The Changing Religious Cleavage in Canadians' Voting Behaviour
Past studies have shown that religion plays an important role in voting behaviour in Canada. Yet, little is known about the changes this religious vote has undergone over the past few decades. Using Canadian Election Studies data, we analyze the evolving impact of religious affiliation and level of religiosity on vote choice in federal elections between 1965 and 2011. We find that, as the marginal impact of Catholic and mainline Protestant tradit…
La langue gardienne de la religion / La religion gardienne de la langue ? Note sur la permanence et la recomposition du catholicisme au Québec et dans la francophonie canadienne
Le catholicisme a longtemps été un pilier institutionnel et un marqueur identitaire pour les communautés francophones du Canada. Malgré cette importance et le déclin progressif qui caractérise catholicisme et francophonie minoritaire, peu de travaux se sont intéressés aux liens entre langue et religion au Canada. Cet article de sociologie comparative constitue un premier jalon vers une meilleure compréhension de l’articulation des phénomènes de s…
