European Religious Education And European Civil Religion
TLDR
The authors argue that rather than representing countersecularisation, such developments represent an emergent and secularising European civil religion facilitated through European religious education, and that increased interest in religion in public and political life as manifested particularly in education is evidence of counter-secularization.Abstract:

The paper argues that rather than representing counter-secularisation, such developments represent an emergent and secularising European civil religion facilitated through European religious education.read more
