Abstract
Peter Berger’s The Many Altars of Modernity is considered through the lens of the sociological analysis of race, class, and gender in an effort to show the borderlines between faith and seculairty in the modern world. Berger’s theory is praised for its approach to linking macro- and micro-social processes that confirm the mutual existence of faith and seculaity, but always in historical contexts that change over time.
