alternative religion, implicit religion, subdogmatic religion, optional religionAbstract
It is gradually becoming clear that what is happening to religion today is ‘disembedding’ rather than ‘secularization’. In this article four categories of disembedded religion are developed. These are described in the order of their distance from official religion: alternative religion; subdogmatic religion; optional religion; and implicit religion. I refer to these ‘unofficial’ forms of religion as ‘wild religion’.
