Robert Bellah proposed a “third time of trial” centered around presidential symbolism in the (-5[1])“civil” type of this construct. (10[1])Emile Durkheim (10[1]-5[1])argued that totemism is the most basic form of this (10[1])construct. For 10 points, as a society modernizes, the presence and influence of what constructs (10[1])decline, (10[1])according to the secularization thesis? (10[2])■END■ (10[2])
