English summary: The role of religion and church in Western societies has changed fundamentally. In the Middles Ages, Christendom functioned as the social order's cognitive and institutional basis. In modern societies religion and church have become one societal sphere among others and are challenged to assert themselves ahead of attractive secular alternatives. The radical change preceding modernity was set in motion at the beginning of the 18th century; since then, religion and church have been intertwined in a process of functional differentiation that has significantly diminished their social relevance. In this historical analysis, Detlef Pollack investigates functional differentiation's medieval predecessors, as well as the 18th century's religious upheaval and 1960's religious crisis. Chapters devoted to the current religious situation cover not only Europe, but the USA and Latin America too. German description: Die Rolle von Religion und Kirche in den Gesellschaften des Westens hat sich grundlegend geandert. Im europaischen Mittelalter stellte das Christentum noch das Fundament der gesamten gesellschaftlichen Ordnung dar. In modernen Gesellschaften sind Religion und Kirche zu einem Teilbereich neben anderen geworden und mussen sich gegenuber der Attraktivitat sakularer Deutungs- und Handlungsalternativen behaupten. Der Umbruch zur Moderne erfolgte im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert. Seitdem sind Religion und Kirche in einen Prozess der funktionalen Differenzierung verflochten, der ihre soziale Signifikanz nachhaltig beeintrachtigt hat. In historischen Analysen geht Detlef Pollack den Vorlaufern funktionaler Differenzierung im Mittelalter nach, untersucht aber auch den religiosen Umbruch des 18. Jahrhunderts und die religiose Krise der 1960er Jahre. Die gegenwartsbezogenen Kapitel uberschreiten den europaischen Raum und beziehen auch die USA sowie Lateinamerika in die Analyse ein.
