Abstract

Religion is a universal concept in every society and we had seen the religious dominant of every section of society. We born, survive and death under the religiosity. According to Emile Durkheim religion “a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbidden-beliefs and practices which unite in one single moral community called a church, all those adhere to them.” In Durkheim view religion have much significance for the society like bringing solidarity among the people, transform moral or social norm on the people and religion play important role for social control. In this regard he consider religion is a social act because religion acts enforce the people together (mentally or physically), in the shapes of religious function. Dominant of religion in many years ago has a very powerful, church and religious dominator control the all primary and secondary institutions of the society.

But change is the only truth of every society; it is reality that the valid knowledge, scientific discovery, modern culture, and rational tendency of modern people should be influence the decline of religiosity of the every part of our society like economic, cultural, political, and social.

In this article try to exploring why religiosity decline in the world and what is the main factor responsible and the process is very significance why religious dominant transform at modern society like religion self-introduce as a subsystem.
