La secularización en España

From the national-Catholic Spain to our plural and secularized society, the great transformation that the religious factor has experienced is confirmed. Manuel Azaña's statement "Spain has ceased to be Catholic", pronounced in 1931, is confirmed at the beginning of the 21st century. This work explores, from historical sociology and the sociology of religion, a long trajectory of ruptures and changes in Spain, which began two centuries ago and in which we simultaneously observe religious decline and metamorphosis of forms of religiosity. From the past-present dialectic, the book travels through the 19th century and liberalism, the Second Republic, the Civil War, National Catholicism, the Transition and democracy until reaching the 21st century. This long "era" leads to the present of Spain, in which secularization and post-secularization coexist in a country that is plural and diverse in religiosity and in irreligiousness.
