Classical secularization theory has been criticized by some social scientists when it became clearly evident that religion just was not going away. Because it has been the revival of religiosity from the late 1960s onwards, there have been so many critics of the secularization thesis. Opponents of the secularization thesis point to the diversity and dynamism of new religious movements and argue that religion and spirituality remain a central facet of modern life. The present rising position of religion throughout the world is much more complex than the secularization theory suggests. Opponents of the secularization theory underline that religion remains an important force although it takes new and unfamiliar forms in modern times.
