First line
Modern, secular societies have been shaped by their relationship to religion in particular and distinct ways; by the dominance or coexistence of religious convictions, by their central or peripheral role, by ersatz religions and civic religions, and by the enduring heritage of religion or religions.
From the rear cover
There are several concepts within the social sciences that refer to the fundamental realities on which the various disciplines focus their attention. The concept of the 'center, ' as defined by Edward Shils, has such a status in sociology, for it deals with and attempts to provide an answer to the central question of the discipline - the question of the constitution of society.
