Zusammenfassung:"It is common in modern Western thought to consider the process of secularization ongoing , inevitable, and indeed in many nations nearly complete. A closer look at such phenomena as religious nationalism, modern fascism, and the recurrence of political witch-hunts, however, causes us to question whether a truly secular society is possible. Drawing on studies of a wide range of national societies, including the United States, Japan, Norway, and Sri Lanka, Richard K. Fenn attempts to articulate the nature of a genuinely secular society, to argue for its benefits, and to suggest the conditions under which it could emerge."--BOOK JACKET.
