Abstract
The article takes as its starting point the text of Joan Estruch published in this same journal in 1981, where the sociologist warned about the need to abandon the paradigm of secularization. In the same vein, this article aims to examine critically the most significant changes that have occurred regarding religion in the last thirty years and delve into the causes and consequences of these changes. The article is the result of dialogue and exchange between fieldwork carried out within the framework of several empirical research projects done in Catalonia and theoretical contributions of growing community of social scientists who investigate questions related with religion.
