The collected volume entitled The (Post)Secular Turn: Religious, Moral and Socio-Political Values of Students in Serbia presents research on the topic of retraditionalization and desecularization of Serbian society, primarily among the younger population. This thesis is opposed to the idea that Serbia is a post-secular country. The purpose of the study is to answer the question whether the processes of democratization and modernization of society are in conflict with the growth of religiosity. The post-secular state is seen as a possible “encouraging” factor in the democratization of society, as religion with its moral values and principles can be an instigator and mortar for democratization.
