One sense of secularization is the application of these criteria to the religious field: modern culture does not necessarily encourage disbelief, but it is said to encourage rational belief, that is belief based on doctrine, on principles, on texts. This is one way of depicting secularization. Yet religion, for most people, is not a set of beliefs at which they arrive by reflection from first<br>principles, but rather a symbolic system which confers identity and marks out social and ethnic and other boundaries, and whose rituals mark crucial moments in the life cycle, and in the daily, weekly and annual cycles, as well as providing powerful emotional and meta-social mechanisms for the resolution of psychological and social tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880-912x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880-912x1024.jpg 912w, https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880-768x862.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880-370x416.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880-760x853.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880-600x674.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/lehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-monstera-6281880.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/david-docs-pdf\/Pub-pap\/FUNDAMENTALISMO%20Y%20GLOBALISMO.pdf\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.davidlehmann.org\/adlehmann\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Two-paths-of-agrarian-capitalism.pdf noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we talk of modernity we refer to many things, of which one is secularization and another is the use of rational, impersonal criteria to decide, allocate, adjudicate and evaluate (see the Introduction to this volume).
