In the Wake of the Quiet Revolution: From Secularization to Religious Cosmopolitanism
Keywords:
religion, pluralism, spirituality, cosmopolitanism, Montréal, QuebecAbstract
Montréal's current religious landscape reflects cer
tain historical and social factors that contributed to the develop
ment of a somewhat unique "religious cosmopolitanism" in the
city. We explore the notion of religious cosmopolitanism and how
it manifests in the Montréal context, drawing on the results of
team research involving the ethnographic study of 100 religious
groups in the metropolitan area. In so doing, we present an
image of religious openness on the part of the Québécois, at
least on the part of those who frequent religious or spiritual
groups, which contrast with the secularism being promoted by
the Parti Québécois and with media images of Québec as closed
to religious diversity.
