Rodney Stark was a Baylor sociologist who challenged the notion that religion was on the decline. He was an agnostic for most of his career, though he wrote positively about Christianity. He apparently converted to Christianity within the last ten years or so.
He was also notable for writing his books in plain English. He wrote something to the extent of "If someone can't explain it in ordinary language, they don't understand it."
