Religion in an era of the chrisis of secularism

Jakov Jukić

Abstract

At the time when it seemed as if the escalation of secularism would
englobe the entire planet, signs o f an interest for the sacred began unexpectedly to appear. This contemporary religious revival could be analysed and interpreted from three aspects: psycho-sociological, theological and phenomenological. The background for this appearance of new religions is the obvious failure of secularism which manifests itself in three crises: the crisis of consumer religion, the crisis of political religion and the crisis of church religion. I f the expressions of the new religiosity are put into relationship with these crises, we obtain the following traits of this religiosity: it is nonsecular, nonpolitical and nonecclesiastical.
