God is Dead: Secularization in the West (Steve Bruce)
The "secularization paradigm" is not a simple single concept. Bruce's explanation of it in chapter one of God is Dead begins with a diagram with 22 nodes (from "The Protestant Reformation" down to "Relativism" and "Compartmentalization and privatization") connected by 26 arrows -- and followed by twenty five pages of explanation. But the core idea is that there has been "a long-term decline in the power, popularity and prestige of religious beliefs and rituals", brought about by modernization, or more specifically by "individualism, diversity and egalitarianism in the context of liberal democracy".
