Abstract
Sociological theories of religion typically presuppose a religiously-based nqimative order, and for this reason their appropriateness in a modern, secular society is questionable A localcosmopolitan theory is proposed which attempts to identify an important plausibility structure for traditional, church-type religion today. Analysis of data from a sample of Worth Carolina Episcopalians shows that this theory not only explains multidimensional religiosity patterns, but also provides a parsimonious interpretation for the effects of education and community size. Implications for the changing social basis of church religion in modern society and the process of secularization are discussed.
