    The Growth of New Age in the past 40 years has coincided with a 50% decline in attendance at conventional religious services. Many argued that declining participation in mainstream religion was evidence of secularisation. Heelas and Woodhead’s study of the Kendal regional centre investigated the extent to which the ‘congregation domain’ was in decline and whether religion was giving way to spirituality through the holistic milieu. However, the problem with declining congregations is that this in itself does not necessarily mean that religiosity is declining but rather becoming privatised. Grace Davie summed this process up with the phrase ‘believing without belonging’. This is where people hold religious belief without going to church etc.…

In fact, this notion effortlessly applies to both novels, Brave New World (Aldous Huxley) and 1984 (George Orwell). Both pieces…

According to Ayenibiowo and Ayeni (2013), religiosity, in its narrowest sense, deals more with how religious an individual is and less with how religious an individual in terms of ritual, symbols and doctrines. On the other hand, religiosity, in its broadest sense, is a multifaceted construct pertaining to various religious activities, devotions and beliefs.…
