Sociology
The shift from ‘civil religion’ to ‘common religion’ means that:
the increasing bureaucracy of the state has made religion only a marginal part of our lives
despite the weakening of traditional authority, our everyday lives and ‘common sense’ remain shaped by religious beliefs and values
religious participation in collective worship may have declined, but people still practise their faiths in private
people are much more likely to discuss their religious beliefs in public, informal settings
despite the weakening of traditional authority, our everyday lives and ‘common sense’ remain shaped by religious beliefs and values
A civil religion is formed when a religion undergoes only partial secularization; the secular world comes to be seen as sacred in itself. This might be expressed through civic rituals celebrating national identity, such as Independence Day and Thanksgiving in the USA or Remembrance Day in the UK. However, even these practices may be declining in significance, as contemporary societies become characterized by ‘common religion’. Here, levels of religious observance and practices may decline but people continue to in their faith. 422-426
