Abstract

An historic process to enlighten the people initially and to undermine or diminish religion’s role in modern times subsequently, especially in Europe, is interpreted as secularization. However, several opposing perspectives suggest that the secularization theory may not be applicable to multi-religious regions, even being challenged by the rise of religious extremism and the religiousity in social life and world politics in recent years. The paper summarizes prominent viewpoints and comments of international scholars on the secularity in the current global context.
