Description: Moving beyond the (now somewhat tired) debates about secularization as paradigm theory or master narrative Periodizing Secularization focuses upon the empirical evidence for secularization viewed in its descriptive sense as the waning social influence of religion in Britain. Particular emphasis is attached to the two key performance indicators of religious allegiance and churchgoing each subsuming several sub - indicators between 1880 and 1945, including the first substantive account of secularization during the fin de si cle. A wide range of primary sources is deployed many of them relatively or entirely unknown and with due regard to their methodological and interpretative challenges. On the back of them a cross - cutting statistical measure of 'active church adherence is devised which clearly shows how secularization has been a reality and a gradual not revolutionary process. The most likely causes of secularization were an incremental demise of a Sabbatarian culture (coupled with the associated emergence of new leisure opportunities and transport links) and of religious socialization (in the church at home and in the school). The analysis is also extended backwards to include a summary of developments during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries; and laterally to incorporate a preliminary evaluation of a six - dimensional model of 'diffusive religion' demonstrating that these alternative performance indicators have hitherto failed to prove that secularization has not occurred. The book is designed as a prequel to the author's previous volumes on the chronology of British secularization - Britain's Last Religious Revival? (2015) and Secularization in the Long 1960s (2017). Together they offer a holistic picture of religious transformation in Britain during the key secularizing century of 1880 - 1980.
