Both Catholicism and Protestantism are in a deep crisis, in Europe and in North America. But more observers are foreseeing that after the crisis of Christianity other religions will undergo a crisis. There is the suspicion that the present crisis is not due to a problem of Christianity itself, but more to the nature of “religions” as we know them, and the growing incapacity of these to accommodate to the deep cultural changes that are under way. The hypothesis of the advent of a so-called “postreligional paradigm” wishes to express the possibility of our facing a very deep socio-cultural transformation, in which “neolithic religions” will stop being viable when the “society of knowledge”1 gets rooted, which will be a “post-religional”2 society, and in which religions that have been unable to free themselves from ancestral “religional” conditionings will be relegated to residual margins of the course of present history."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderChristianityreligionspostreligional paradigmsocio-cultural transformationReligious ethicsComparative religion and interreligious dialogueReligious pluralismTheology of religionsPhilosophy of religionArticle
