The purpose of this essay is to investigate two leading voices in the religion and secularizationdebate in Sweden during the 21st century, with a special focus on how the term secularisation isused. The investigation will be conducted using hermeneutics, and the method that will be usedis the hermeneutics of suspicion. The primary focus of this investigation is the source materialwritten by David Thurfjell and Christer Sturmark. The investigation has revealed thatThurfjell’s and Sturmark’s description of secularisation and religion in Sweden differs and thiscan be linked to their different backgrounds and starting points. The difference in theirdescriptions shows that the use of the concept of secularisation is not self-evident, it can varydepending on when during history it is used, but also who uses the term. The investigationrevealed the complexity of the concept of secularisation, a result that gives support to previousresearchers results within the field.
