Rationale
The word 'secular' means 'non-religious' and the secularisation thesis is simply the suggestion that religion and religious beliefs are of declining importance both in society and for the individual. This subject has intrigued me because I am curious to find out:
* To what extent does it claim that if people do not attend church regularly, it indicates a reduction in religiosity
* Why these claims have been put forward by certain sociologists
* Why no one has found an answer to whether or not religion is in decline
* Why the evidence found by sociologists contradict each others findings
The relevant areas of secularisation can be examined in terms of three aspects:
* Religious thinking-the influence of religion on people's beliefs and values
* Religious practice-such as the levels of church membership and church attendance
