This groundbreaking work rejects that view, & fundamentally rethinks the historical & theoretical causes of the secularization of American public life between 1870 and 1930. Christian Smith & his team of contributors boldly argue that the declining authority of religion was not the by-product of modernization, but rather the intentional achievement of certain cultural & intellectual elites, including scientists, academics, & literary intellectuals, seeking to gain control of social institutions & increase their own cultural authority.
