About the book

With a clear statement of the theoretical issues in the debates about secularization and post-secularism, ?Religion and the State: A Comparative Sociology? considers a number of major case studies ? from China, Europe, Singapore and South Asia ? in order to understand the rise of public religions in the modern state. By distinguishing between political secularization ? the separation of state and religion ? and social secularization ? the transformation of the everyday practice of religion ? this volume offers an integrating framework within which to analyze these different societies.
