520 |a The thrust of the civil religion literature has been called into question by the work of both Luckmann and Fenn. These latter scholars--here called privatists--deny the need for wide cultural legitimations in advanced societies, suggesting especially that dominant institutions are guided by and accepted in terms of functionally rational criteria rather than broad ideological schemes. However, the privatists (and the "end of ideology" school they represent) overlook evidence suggesting the continued importance of cultural consensus--at least among the dominant classes--and they overlook the possibility that functional rationality itself is a legitimating system of meaning. Further, the privatists ignore the likelihood that emergent social strains will exacerbate dissensus and create new pressure for explicit civil legitimations. Thus, while itself requiring modification, the analysis of civil religion remains crucial for students of religion.
