Secularizing society(religion)

I do think that our society is world secularizing. I feel that religion today is not as important as it used to be back in old times. Not many people really fight for their religion like they used to. People don't even really talk about religion these days and if you do, sometimes you are looked at differently from believing in something that someone else doesn't believe in. Since religion is a form of culture, I definitel think that the culture is decreasing as time goes on. In the textbook it says, " Sociologists believed that through alienation, human beings attribute their own culturally created values and norms to alien, or separate, beings because they do not understand their own history." I think that in order for religion to become "more popular" or increase as to say, people need to know more about the past, and how their religion/what they believe in, was in the past and not just the present.
