具体描述
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.

评分在“9•11”恐怖袭击事件之后，时任美国总统的小布什曾在公开场合脱口而出，宣称眼下这场针对极端主义的斗争是“新十字军远征”（New Crusade）。这番话别说是伊斯兰世界听来极不舒服，连西欧盟国的舆论也是一片哗然。许多观察家已注意到，冷战结束之后“大西洋在变宽”，以...

评分文| 杨凤岗 （《读书》2016年7月号第159-168页） 欧洲和美国都是发达的现代社会，这个判断应该是毫无疑义的。但在宗教现象上，欧美的反差令人惊奇：在现代化了的欧洲，宗教日趋衰落；在现代化了的美国，宗教却很兴旺。从法国的托克维尔到德国的韦伯，访美的欧洲学者对于美国...

an in-depth yet lay person friendly analysis of religion in America and Europe. analyzes the issue from 4 aspects: history, (academic) elites, institution and other social differences such as age and gender. It seems pro-religion based on its word choice and its conclusion. Generally speaking, it's a good read.
