ORTEGA, Ximena Alexandra  and  VILLAMARIN, Francisco Javier. Secularization in the Andean region of Nariño. Analysis of the degree of confidence in the Church and the University of Nariño. CS [online]. 2011, n.8, pp.383-412. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i8.1139.

The aim of this research is to demonstrate the secularization of consciousness, which is experienced by the people of the most urbanized municipalities in the Andean region of Nariño, by analyzing the degree of confidence in two institutions that historically have assumed an important ideological and cultural debate: religion and science. The method employed by the author is review, organization, and classification of social statistics. A comparative analysis of the confidence in two institutions provides the means to advance in the direction of defining and discussing the analytical objects related to the local and regional dimensions of social change.

Keywords : Secularization; Confidence in institutions; The Church; Modernity; Religion.
