This Religion, Renewal and Choice resource bundle within the Beliefs in Society A Level Sociology unit explores the evolving role of religion in a postmodern, individualised society, challenging traditional secularisation narratives. The PDF summary outlines key theories and debates on religious change, including the spiritual marketplace, belief without belonging (Davie), vicarious religion (Hervieu-Léger), and the rise of New Age movements and spiritual consumerism. It examines how religion is adapting to individual choice, globalisation, and digital culture, drawing on sociologists such as Stark and Bainbridge, Lyon, and Bruce, who debate whether this signals renewal or further decline. The PowerPoint presentation breaks down theoretical perspectives with visual explanations, trends, and contemporary examples like online worship, holistic spirituality, and the commodification of faith. To strengthen essay-writing and critical thinking, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based tasks, such as theory-evidence matching, evaluation sentence builders, and practice essay plans. A focused podcast episode unpacks core debates in a student-friendly way, asking whether religion is genuinely being “renewed” or simply reshaped to fit a consumerist age. The question bank features exam-style questions and model responses on topics such as “Evaluate the view that religion is adapting rather than declining in postmodern society.” An interactive quiz helps reinforce key theorists, terms, and perspectives through engaging, applied questions. Altogether, this bundle equips students with a balanced and critical understanding of how religion is evolving in the context of choice, identity, and globalisation.
