20.
yüzyılın sonu ve 21. yüzyılın başında din sosyolojisi teorik ve ampirik
araştırmalarda dikkate değer bir büyüme kaydetmiştir. Bilimsel konsensüs
modernleşme teorisi ile ilişkili erken sekülerleşme tezinin yanıltıcı ve basit
olduğunu ya da öncelikle Kuzey Avrupa ile ilgili olduğunu savunmaktadır. Avrupa
çerçevesinin ötesinde, dinin toplum, kültür ve siyasette önemli bir rol
oynamaya devam ettiğine dair yeterli kanıt bulunmaktadır. Gelişmekte olan dünyada
kentleşme ile birlikte dindarlıkta ve dini canlanmada artış meydana gelmiştir. Din,
bu yüzyılda tüm dünyada siyasi ve ideolojik mücadelelerde önemli bir faktör
olacaktır. Bununla birlikte, bu siyasal çatışmalara odaklanmanın olumsuz yönlerinden
biri, radikal İslam ve dini şiddetin diğer tezahürleri üzerine aşırı
yoğunlaşmış olmasıdır.

In
the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the sociology of religion enjoyed a
remarkable growth in both theory and empirical research. The scholarly
consensus argues that the early secularization thesis associated with
modernization theory was misleading and simplistic, or that it was primarily
relevant to northern Europe. Beyond the European framework, there is ample
evidence that religion continues to play a major role in society, culture and
politics. With urbanization in the developing world, there has come increasing
piety and religious revivalism. Religion will be a major factor in political
and ideological struggles across the globe in this century. One negative aspect
of this focus on political conflict, however, has been an over-concentration on
radical Islam and other manifestations of religious violence.
