'Faith's Comeback?: The Demographic Revival of Religion in Europe' (original) (raw)

The paper examines the complex relationship between secularism and religion in Europe, arguing that conventional theories of modernisation may not fully account for the revival of religious affiliation and attendance in certain contexts. By analyzing historical and socio-political factors that influence the appeal of religion, the study suggests that religion's resurgence may be linked to emotive political projects rather than purely social or economic shifts. It emphasizes the need to understand these dynamics in light of Europe’s diverse demographic and cultural landscape.
