Summary/Abstract: Religion appears to have a special role in reinforcing individual and community identity. In this age of migration, religion has become a key factor in global change and the creation of transnational societies. As with deism led to atheism, many abandon faith in God. Churches in atheistic societies are bearing witness to the Gospel through community building. The challenge of secularity is to make the case for the truth of Christ in societies that are pluralistic and globalized and to make the peace of Christ in societies that are broken and divided.
