Sažetak
Religious pluralism is among basic definitions of the postmodern society. But, one has to take into account the "postmodern" relativisation of all religious systems: for the man of the postmodern no religion can have an absolute value, but is necessarily addressed to other religious truth completing it. Marked by this religious pluralism and relativisation of every religious system, the postmodern man wanders if the religious is a link with the absolute, violent by itself, and rejects it as such. Therefore, in the postmodern western society an advantage is given to the religion without God, especially considering the real historical violences of many religions, not excluding Christianity, and taking into account religious wars persistent up to these days.
Edward Schillebeeckx answers to this question saying that violence in the name of religion has a double foundation of an unreligious and unchristian kind - meaning that these foundations are wrong. An important contribution is given by Johan Baptist Metz with his suggestion of an universal program of Christianity in the age of globalisation, stressing that in the process of globalisation the religious core of the human cultures can not be disregarded. The contribution of these two theologians is the centre of the reflection of this article.
