Abstract Social-Scientific study of religion has been dominated by the theory of secularization—the assumption of the inevitability of the decline of religion in modern societies. The contention of this chapter is that secularization theory is deficient both as a workable hypothesis of historical change and as an explanation of the available evidence on the growth and decline of religion in the world’s first two industrial—urban nations-Britain and the USA.
