Choice and Religion: A Critique of Rational Choice Theory
Oxford University Press UK (1999)
Abstract
People of the western world now have unprecedented freedom to choose their religion. In this book, the world's leading sociologist of religion argues that the liberty and freedom to choose religion corrodes faith and that religion remains most vital when it is part of ethnic and national identity.
