“…O primeiro contributo vem de Tschannen (1991), o qual resumiu as teorias clássicas num complexo teórico, assente na perspectiva de Kuhn, a que denominou de paradigma da secularização, no qual os conceitos partilhados contribuem para interpretar a situação religiosa de forma igual. Tschannen (1991, p. 400-402) sintetiza as proposições teóricas clássicas Berger (1967), Luckmann (1967) e Wilson (1966), assim como de outros autores FENN, 1970;PARSONS, 1963;e BELLAH, 1967), assente em dois pressupostos e três conceitos. Os dois pressupostos são: as raízes da secularização encontram-se na própria religião (raízes religiosas) e a imanência da religião à condição humana leva-a a nunca desaparecer (permanência).…”

Este artigo tem como objectivo organizar as teorias da secularização de forma diferente, assentando-as em filiações filosóficas/sociológicas e em níveis de análise. Para tal, como método, usa-se a análise comparada de conteúdo das teorias e/ou dos trabalhos mais relevantes dos principais autores. As teorias podem dividir-se em dois grupos principais, adeptos e adversários da secularização. Enquanto os adeptos se afiguram como aprofundamentos e ajustamentos das teorias clássicas à realidade contemporânea, advogando sobretudo a religiosidade individual, os adversários apresentam concepções diferentes das teorias clássicas da secularização, defendendo a permanência da religiosidade institucional. No primeiro grupo encontram-se as teorias pós-clássicas e as teorias da individualização, enquanto no segundo grupo apresentam-se o modelo económico, as teorias do regresso e as teorias histórico-culturais. Weber e Durkheim, e as correntes epistemológicas que representam, são a maior influência das várias teorias existentes, umas mais descendentes do primeiro, outras do segundo. O modelo económico distingue-se das restantes teorias por ser a única que não é influenciada por Weber e que é influenciada pelo empirismo anglo-saxónico.

“…This process of structural differentiation is not, however, restricted to religion. Fenn (1970Fenn ( , 1972 and Luhmann (1974Luhmann ( , 1987 see modern societies as characterized by structural differentiation at all levels of the system. In modern societies where the process of structural differentiation affects not just religion but all institutions and where we can no longer talk of a single coherent social system, this necessarily results in the deprivileging of all cultural resources.…”

Public Religion and Political Change in Wales

This article examines the experiences of a range of faith groups in Wales drawn from 40 interviews with these groups and related organizations. The principal aim of the project from which the data are drawn was to study experiences of change within the religious sphere in Wales, most notably changes brought about by the process of devolution since 1999. The article has three main concerns. First, drawing on Casanova’s idea of a ‘public religion’, we examine the public roles of faith groups, from the local level through to engagement with politicians in the National Assembly for Wales, and how, especially among Christian denominations, such roles are understood as of growing importance against a backdrop of declining church attendance. Second, we consider the attitudes of faith group representatives towards devolution and the Assembly, highlighting how to date Christian faith groups have been better placed to adapt to political change, for a variety of reasons. Leading on from this, we explore the factors that facilitate and limit engagement of faith groups with the Assembly.
