RLST4116: Secular and Civil Religion
Peter Berger defined secularisation as the process whereby sectors of society and culture are removed from the domination of religious institutions and symbols, which does not fit with the non-institutional religious forms that have emerged since the 1960s. Definitions of religion, religious, secular, and sacred are the focus of this unit.
