Secularization as Declining Religious Authority

On entend generalement par secularisation, le declin de l'autorite religieuse. L'article propose de souligner trois points : l'autorite religieuse mise en rapport avec les recents developpements en theorie sociale, l'etat actuel de la litterature relatant la secularisation, et une approche Weberienne de l'analyse sociologique de la religion. De nouvelles hypotheses concernant les relations entre la religion et les mouvements sociaux sont a etablir, afin de mieux saisir de maniere conceptuelle et empirique la secularisation au sein de societes, d'organisations et d'individus
