The Dying off of religion in Christianity
Jakov Jukić
Abstract
Living a life of unalloyed this-worldlimess the modern man tried to
find the nourishment for his religious hunger first in the Christian
churches. However, because of their equal secularism, these churches
have not showed sufficient readiness to be confronted with this extraordinary yearning of the modern man for religiosity. On the contrary, they themselves began to tread the ways of this-worldliness. But inside Christianity new attempts have sprung up — because man is inalienably religious — to attain the dimension of the sacral. We shall limit our exposition to two such attempts, to the Pentecostal movement as a religious revolt of the elite and to the folk religiosity representing a
religious revolt of the masses.
