What term describes declining religiosity? What factors are correlated with declining religiosity in a country? What is the big exception to these trends? Why might this exception exist?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. The process of declining religiosity—or moving away from religious spirituality and toward the worldly—is secularization.
2. The more industrially and technologically developed a country is, the lower its rates of religious belief, especially in industrialized countries that provide a social safety net for their citizens.
3. The wealthier a country is, the lower its rates of religious belief.
4. The big exception to these trends toward secularization is the United States, which is wealthy as well as industrially and technologically developed, but has not experienced declining religiosity.
5. One reason the United States may be an exception is because of its greater religious diversity than what is found in many other countries with similar levels of industrialization and wealth. Americans have more religious options to choose from.
