Europe is a relatively secular part of the world in global terms. Why is this so? And why is the situation in Europe so different from that in the United States? These are the key questions considered in this book; key questions (the theme) clearly articulated in the first chapter.Subsequent chapters explore the nature of Eurosecularity in more detail (the variations on the theme) - paying attention to its historical, philosophical and institutional dimensions. They also ask how the question of Eurosecularity is related to social difference (class, ethnicity etc.). In each chapter, the similarities and differences with the American case will be carefully examined. The final chapter explores the ways in which these features translate into policy on both sides of the Atlantic. This book is highly topical and relates very directly to the tensions between Europe and America in the present period.

評分在“9•11”恐怖襲擊事件之後,時任美國總統的小布什曾在公開場閤脫口而齣,宣稱眼下這場針對極端主義的鬥爭是“新十字軍遠徵”(New Crusade)。這番話彆說是伊斯蘭世界聽來極不舒服,連西歐盟國的輿論也是一片嘩然。許多觀察傢已注意到,冷戰結束之後“大西洋在變寬”,以...

Steve Bruce的評論挺有用:可以不從塗爾幹二分法的角度來看西歐、美國在宗教信仰上的不同錶現(機製,功能,等等),而查看信仰內容的改變?
