On the basis that you can never have enough Notes on the concept of secularisation, this latest instalment has the added advantage of being a lot more up-to-date than the other Notes available here. As well as discussing a range of New Right responses to the arguments of classic theorists like Wilson they include things like New Religious Movements and the ever-popular post-secularisation debate. The material is taken from the published version of A2 Sociology for AQA and it's designed to meet the requirements of the 2006 AQA Specification (although it's going to be equally applicable to the new (2008) AQA Specification).

There. I've said it. Now all you need to do is buy it.
