Al Mohler has written that while it is doubtful we will ever enter into an age of complete secularization, it is obvious that we live in an increasingly secular age. Secularization theory has failed in its major claims but in two senses it was exactly right. First, the theorists were correct in their understanding of geographic origin and advancement. Western Europe has followed the theory perfectly. Second, the theorists were correct in their understanding of the avenue of advancement: the cultural and intellectual elite. Even with the distinctions above, we must admit that we live in a different age than our grandparents. These are the conditions of belief in which we now live.
