The main aim of this article is to analyze the phenomenon of secularization in the writings of Rainer Maria Rilke and Gianni Vattimo and to offer a profound reinterpretation of the ethics of charity, as built on the foundations of religion. In recent years there has been a breakdown of the secularization paradigm. It turned out that modernity and contemporary technological revolution do not necessarily lead to the inevitable death of religion. Many contemporary scientists tell us about the process of desecularization and the return of religion in a modified form. The deepest meaning of secularization does not concern the presence of religion in the public domain, but the reinterpretation of religious truths and symbols. In this regard the main problem is to establish a new form of religion, entirely immanent and humanistic. These very complex phenomena of secularization and desecularization require extensive interdisciplinary research.
