The Many Altars Of Modernity by Peter Berger
Toward a Paradigm for Religion in a Pluralist Age
The book argues that modernity does not simply secularize but fragments the religious landscape, producing a marketplace of competing faiths and worldviews that erode any single religion’s claim to universal plausibility. It traces how pluralism, individual choice, and institutional differentiation create new religious forms, privatization of belief, and reactive movements such as fundamentalism, and calls for a sociological paradigm that can account for religion’s persistence and transformation in a pluralistic age.
