is defined by the mutual and reciprocal rise of urban civilization and the collapse of traditional religion. On the one hand, urbanization constitutes a massive change in the way men live together. On the other hand, these changes sprang from the wreckage of religious world-views whereby secularization marked a change in the way men grasp and understand their life together.

COX, Harvey (1929 )
