Answer 2

Answer:

Although there was some evidence for the theory, it has turned out to be basically wrong.

Explanation:

In the 1960s, Peter Berger, along with other sociologists, argued that modernity and secularization go hand in hand. They believed that, as a country reaches a higher level of modernity and development, people become more secular (less people are religious). However, in the 1990s, he argued that his thinking had been wrong. He argued that, in most cases, a lot more development has not made people more secular, and in fact, in some cases, it has made them even more religious. He also argued that the only exception was Western Europe, and that this exception should be further studied.
