| Summary: | This article argues that quantitative secularization research has made important progress in the last 20 years in seven areas. We have gained knowledge of how religion and religiosity are connected to insecurity, education, socialization, secular transition, secular competition, pluralism, and regulation. This has led to a better understanding of the causes and the form of the secularization process. In this article, the author discusses the new ideas that have led to these advances, the evidence that supports the claims, and the new problems that have appeared due to the progress made. Cet article montre que la recherche quantitative sur la sécularisation a fait d’importants progrès au cours des vingt dernières années dans sept domaines. Nous avons acquis des connaissances sur la façon dont la religion et la religiosité sont liées à l’insécurité, à l’éducation, à la socialisation, à la transition laïque, à la concurrence laïque, au pluralisme et à la régulation. Cela a permis de mieux comprendre les causes et la nature du processus de sécularisation. Dans cet article, l’auteur discute des nouvelles idées qui ont conduit à ces avancées, des preuves qui soutiennent les affirmations et de nouveaux problèmes qui sont apparus en raison des progrès réalisés. |
