Grace Davie

Grace Davie is a British sociologist who studies religion and its role in society. She explores how religious beliefs, practices, and identities change over time and across different communities. Davie emphasizes that religion remains significant in many people's lives, even in secular or modern societies, but often in different forms—such as cultural or spiritual rather than strictly institutional. Her work helps us understand why religion persists, transforms, or diminishes, considering social, cultural, and personal factors. Overall, she offers insights into the ongoing relevance and diversity of religious life in contemporary society.
