Drawing from an ethnographic study and 63 interviews of Protestant professionals in the workplace, this article develops a conceptualization of how a cultural mismatch—defined here as a moral conflict between actors’ beliefs and values and their contextual norms and practices—catalyzes actors to strategically and deliberately shape future lines of action. In this study, a range of Protestant executives, professionals, and workers in China experience a cultural mismatch and respond in a number of ways. This study builds on accounts of culture in action to argue that when actors’ values and beliefs conflict with their organizational context, such cultural mismatches can shape action in not only unconscious, automatic ways or as post hoc justifications, as much of the extant scholarship has emphasized, but can also deliberately shape future lines of irrational, strategic, and creative action.

Sociologists know very little about the religious lives of the current generation of American adolescents. This study provides an updated portrait of adolescent religious commitment and direct tests of religious change across cohorts by comparing data from the 2017–2018 National Survey of Moral Formation to the 2002–2003 National Study of Youth and Religion. There has been a significant growth in the percentage of adolescents who are not at all religious (by multiple measures). There has been a less substantial decline in the percentage of adolescents who are highly religious. Changes in religiosity have occurred across sociodemographic groups, though not always at the same rate, resulting in new patterns across gender, race, regional, and socioeconomic lines on some aspects of religiosity. Despite declines in religiosity, however, parental transmission of religion is similar to what it was in the previous generation. The decline in adolescent religiosity, notably, reflects a decline in parental religiosity.

This article proposes to question the sociology of religion’s Western-centrism by taking a sidestep and looking at key religious changes in the non-Western world. It does so by examining religious change in Indonesia and China over the course of the last century. This exercise shows with some clarity that religion in these countries has gone through two radically different historical phases: a first in which religion (as all other social dimensions) was shaped by the nation-state (differentiated and “churched”) and a second in which consumerism and marketization appear as major forces behind bottom-up religious booms. The article argues that this shift in religious regimes can be generalized to global societies, including in the West, thereby significantly refreshing many ongoing debates and diagnoses and enabling a new appraisal of the limits of the “secularization” and “Rational Choice” narratives for understanding religion in the world today.
