description: Idema brings a psychoanalytic perspective to his analysis of religion and culture. The heart of Idema's argument, following Freud, is that secularization ushered into western culture an increase of neurosis. Idema's theory of secularization is applied to each of the authors he has selected to illustrate three principal effects of the decline of religion.
