Abstract

The Author first shows different perspectives and functions of religion, then she argues that the modern Western man can still be considered homo religiosus and religion does not lose its importance in late postmodernity. Referring to sociological sciences, which, by creating new research perspectives, make it possible to explain various transformations of religiousness happening in today’s world, the Author shows that despite social transformations of the human world, religion is still able to be a key social power. Then she considers potential “scenarios of the future.”

Keywords:
