| | SOCIAL CHANGE AND RELIGION: THINKING BEYOND SECULARIZATION PERSPECTIVES |
 | | Religious belonging increasingly became a matter of accepting formalized religious doctrines, creeds, and confessional statements (e.g., the Apostle's Creed, the Augsburg Confession, or the Baltimore Catechism). | | | Growing voluntarism meant that Americans felt increasingly free to choose among commitments of all sorts, relational, familial, political, and religious. | | | On the other side of the religious and political spectrum, consider the public advocacy of Jim Wallis, Andrew Young, and Jesse Jackson. |

| | I. Wallerstein, "SOCIAL CHANGE? Change is eternal. Nothingever changes." |
| | In any case, it had never been primarily the degree of strength of capitalist forces that had been the decisive factor but the strength of the social opposition to capitalism. | | | This is quite recognizably the dogma of liberal ideology, the dominant ideology of the past two centuries, which has served as the geoculture of the modern world-system. | | | This had been largely mediated via the state structures, as social welfare programs. |
