Some Considerations on the Future of Secularization

Abstract

The paper proposes a counter-secularization hypothesis based on a holistic approach to the world, as suggested by contemporary physics. Such a representation defuses the negative correlation between intelligence and religiosity. Thus, the paper highlights the main dimensions of contemporary religiosity, as well as those of the relation between religiosity and secularisation. Moreover, it critically approaches the counter-secularization hypothesis that is anchored in the genetic determination of intelligence, religiosity, and fertility.
