Abstract


Modern diffused religion is not very different from that of the past. Indeed, it is precisely its persistence that gives it its peculiar characteristic. Diffused religion of values is the result of a vast process of religious socialization that continues to pervade cultural reality and not only that: it embraces central categories of religious behavior. It is reasonable to maintain that we are faced not only with a religion based on values largely shared, since they have been diffused chiefly through primary and, later, secondary socialization, but these very values can be seen in themselves as a kind of religion.
