According to the British sociologist of religion James A. Beckford in the Department of Sociology at the University of Warwick, the term "postsecular" is currently proliferating amongst scholars in the humanities and social science fields.<ref>[http://www.academia.edu/1785171/Public_religions_and_the_post-secular_critical_reflections Postsecular - James A.

The British sociologist James A. Beckford also declared:
  −
{{cquote|Some of the most powerful implications of “postsecularity” are said to occur in the spheres
  −
of politics and public policy. For example, a common argument is that “during secularization,
  −
religion did not disappear tout court. It simply disappeared from the public sphere...Today
  −
religion is returning to the public sphere” (Bosetti and Eder 2006:1; Eder 2006). Indeed, the
  −
dissolution of the private/public distinction is credited by Crockett (2010:1) with precipitating
  −
a “phenomenal resurgence of religion in culture, politics, and thought.” And it is in connection
  −
with social services and public policies that the strongest claims have been made for the view
  −
that postsecular conditions have raised the public profile of religion.<ref>[http://www.academia.edu/1785171/Public_religions_and_the_post-secular_critical_reflections Postsecular - James A. Beckford in the Department of Sociology at the University of Warwick]</ref>}}
