The secularization thesis argues that religion is declining in society, either in terms of religious institutions, actions, or consciousness. The other options are not associated with this view - the rationalization thesis refers to the increase in efficiency and rationality in society, the profanity thesis argues that society is becoming less moral, the revised secularization thesis argues that religion is still relevant but in a different way, and the sacralization thesis argues that religion is becoming more prominent.
