Abstract

In the light of fast changing reality of the contemporary man which involves moral threats, the author’s focus is on the in-depth reflection on the above mentioned issues. Specifically analysis has been carried out on the process of laicization closely associated with practical and existential atheism, as well as on humanism entirely detached from God and the availing of democracy to impose the opinion of majority as a commonly accepted norm. A dangerous tendency which seems to show an increasing trend is the spreading interpretation of pluralism of social life and tolerance, the interpretation which no longer regards truth and good as essential criteria of thinking, evaluation and action.

Keywords:

human being, conscience, atheism, democracy, laicism, humanism, tolerance, ethical relativism
