Toward a New Sociology of Religion
This paper questions the assumption that religion, or its functional alternatives, inevitably provides the basis for the cultural integration of all societies. In modern societies the process of differentiation has reached the point at which a normative order based on religious beliefs and values is no longer possible. This development, however, coincides with increases in productive capacity which tend to make less difficult the tasks of motivat…
The Process of Secularization
Parsons' ideal-typical model of society depicts a religiously based moral order which is characterized by congruence within and between the cultural, structural, and personality levels of the social system. In attempting to apply this model to modern societies, however, Parsons encounters certain empirical and logical difficulties which are instructive for an understanding of the process of secularization. These difficulties, like secularization …
Bellah and The New Orthodoxy
The Interpretation of Cultures
The Secularization of Values
secularization as a process, the choice is made to define the secular in terms of Parsons's theory of action. This theory suggests the possibility of a secular, as well as a religious normative orientation. These two normative orientations contain such dimensions as scope, intensity, and a posture toward social change. The theoretical development of this paper is related to major analyses of American society and calls into question some of the as…

Toward a Theory of Secularization
The Relevance of Bellah’s “Civil Religion” Thesis to a Theory of Secularization
A nation is minimally constituted by a population which shares two experiences, that of occupation of the same territory and of exposure to the exercise of a central state authority. Some societies are more self-sufficient in their economies and cultures than others; some societies surrender more or less political autonomy to a larger body than the nation. Nations, however, are generally the whole of which other bodies are the parts; the nation, …
The Relevance of Bellah's "Civil Religion" Thesis to a Theory of Secularization
Talking Past One Another
D _ ebates on the issue of secularization tend to be a confusing mixture of statements of faith, functionalist axioms about the general importance of religion to societies, and specific theories in the sociology of religion. The debates are further confused when incompatible definitions of religion and differing levels of analysis are used by the protagonists; and the present debate is no exception. McFaul's Comment (June issue), however, provide…

Religious Movements in Contemporary America
Contemporary religious movements in America vary greatly in their organization, goals, methods, and membership. Reflecting the striking diversity of the current religious movement, the papers in this volume consider three categories of religious movements: native American churches, recently founded religious groups, and syncretistic groups based on imported cults. The general aim is to understand the varieties of human behavior within these insti…
