This book examines the relationship between secular movements and industrial change in the context of Europe's transition from church-dominated societies toward the secularism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author argues that the rise of industry, and industrialization, contributed significantly to a shift in cultural and intellectual norms, leading to more secular worldviews, especially among the working class. The author notes that scholars, philosophers, and theologians have traditionally overestimated their own influence in the development of secular society, proposing that the impersonal force of industrial surroundings exerted a far greater impact. In the evolving climate of the industrial revolution, the author argues, people began to naturally seek explanations based on laws of the natural world rather than supernatural or theological explanations and that this shift in perspective was primarily driven by the increasingly common experience of daily life in industrial settings. The author asserts that the change in the general population away from religious worldviews toward secular ones is a consequence of the impersonal forces of societal evolution and that industrialization was a particularly potent force in driving these shifts in thought.
