Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secularization theorists argue that the process of modernization brings about a decline in the importance of religion in society. Once this process begins, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to return to a more traditional society in which religion plays a central role. Therefore, choice B is the best answer. Choices A and C are incorrect, as secularization theorists do not argue that religion disappears entirely or becomes more necessary in modern society. Choice D is also incorrect, as secularization theorists focus on the future, not the past.
