globalisation- inc movement of ideas across nations
beliefs have become disembedded-dont go to place find online
religion deinstitutionalised-mixed together not tied to specific institutions
religious consumerism-
spiritual shoppers pick’n’ mix beliefs from vast range in market place that suit us
relocated into sphere of consumption-choose what interests us not just one religion
loss of metanarrative that claims absolute truth- access to more ideas
reinchantment of world-
religion isn’t declining spirituality and unconventional beliefs and practices are increasing

spiritual shopping- decline in institutional religion in Europe
cultural amnesia- Britain forget religious culture once played an important part.loss of collective memory. religion used to be taught in extended family lost from being passed from generation to generation.
collective tradition replaced by individual consumerism- feel now have a choice as consumers of religion. not as a collective, as consumers in the marketplace
