A cultural evolutionary account can help to unpack the dynamics of the apparent decline of religion in the shift to modernisation, industrialisation, and secularism.
“First and foremost, a cultural evolutionary account can help to unpack the dynamics of the apparent decline of religion in the shift to modernisation, industrialisation, and secularism that has occupied sociologists for decades (Inglehart 1997; Turner 2014; Blum and Dudley 2001; Taylor 1989; Cascardi 1992; Lanman 2010).”
From Cultural Evolution of Religion, Spirituality and Ritual: Impacts On Human Cooperation (2024) · cites this paper as Blum and Dudley 2001
The Abstract and ‘Ethical codes in Protestant and Catholic Europe’ use a cultural-evolutionary account of how religious differences shaped economic growth before the Industrial Revolution. They do not address an apparent decline of religion or explain secularisation during modernisation. (LLM, conf=0.84)

“…cultural evolutionary account can help to unpack the dynamics of the apparent decline of religion in the shift to modernisation, industrialisation, and secularism that has occupied sociologists for decades (Inglehart 1997; Turner 2014; Blum and Dudley 2001; Taylor 1989; Cascardi 1992; Lanman 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
