Carina draws on secularization theory in her studies of religious decline in Europe. She first studies education and notices that the public school curriculum began referring to God less and less and stopped using theistic explanations of historical and geological processes.
She then turns to economy and politics, expecting to see:

A) more rapid secularization in education than in economy or politics.
B) evidence of secularization across all social institutions.
C) opposing trends of secularization in economy and intensified religion in politics.
D) religious fundamentalists fighting for ground in education and family, long after they give up on exerting influence in politics and economy.
