THE POLITICS AT GOD'S FUNERAL The Spiritual Crisis of Western Civilization. By Michael Harrington. 308 pp. New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston. $16.95. MICHAEL HARRINGTON, one of the leading intellectual figures in the American Left, turns in this book to the relation between religion and politics in Western societies. He describes himself as both an atheist and a ''cultural Catholic'' (the latter phrase meaning a set of sensibilities that can survive a theological divorce from the Catholic Church), and as a ''democratic Marxist.'' He frankly avows from the outset that his intention is more than analytic. He also has a political agenda - namely, to forge a coalition between all, believers and non-believers, who are concerned with the survival of humane values in the contemporary world.
ONE WAY TO MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE

MOBILE HOMES are making their appearance in the far suburban reaches of Manalapan, in Monmouth County, N.J. But they are not in a mobile- home ''park,'' they are not easily mobile and there is a question whether they should be called mobile homes. The more accurate term nowadays is ''manufactured housing,'' a term historically applicable to the mobile-home product, but more justified when it is built to a standard that qualifies for 30-year financing and is sold in a conventional subdivision with the land on which it stands. That is what is happening in Manalapan Township. Daniel Pincus, whose earlier projects were conventional ''stick-built'' homes in central New Jersey, is offering houses that are manufactured in Pennsylvania and trucked in two pieces to the site. They all have three bedrooms, two baths and backyards of about 40 by 45 feet.

Under an agreement with private prospectors, the city inherited seven- eighths of the rights to a natural-gas well, Attica I, drilled on municipal property.

It was based on a report in a scientific journal by Dr. David A. Priestly, a biochemist at the Boyce Thompson Institute at Cornell University, and Dr. Maarten A.

DAILY NEWS SHOWS SIGNS OF A RETURN TO PROSPERITY

The Daily News says it has begun to recover from the problems that brought it to the verge of collapse a year ago. Outside analysts agree that the paper is showing progress, but not all are as enthusiastic as James G. Wieghart, who said the paper had undergone ''one of the greatest turnarounds in American journalism.'' In two years of turmoil, The News, a tabloid that is the nation's largest-selling general-interest daily newspaper, endured the closing of its afternoon edition, widespread cuts in its staff and a threat to sell it or close it outright. Now it is beginning to rebuild. It has hired a half-dozen new reporters and editors in recent weeks. It has moved some of its printing operations from its crowded and costly midtown location to more modern and efficient sites in Brooklyn, Nassau County and Kearny, N.J. And it has reinstituted some of its aggressive pricing policies, most recently by raising the price of its Sunday newspaper to $1.

International A bomb explosion in Burma killed at least 18 people including two leading advisers to President Chun Doo Hwan of South Korea and four of his Cabinet ministers. The officials were preparing for a wreath-laying ceremony in Rangoon. Forty-eight people were injured, many of them seriously. President Chun escaped harm because his car was delayed in traffic and he arrived five minutes late. He immediately returned to South Korea, cutting short what was to have been an 18-day visit to six Asian countries (A1:4.) Johannesburg continues to use statutes as a means to check the flow of blacks from poverty-stricken tribal areas to urban areas. The constitutional changes being pressed by South Africa's Prime Minister, P. W. Botha, do not involve blacks, nor do they promise any easing of such restrictions, which are basic to the system known as apartheid. (A1:5-6.)
