Summary/Abstract: The article presents the neo-pragmatist interpretation of the place of religion in modern liberal societies offered by Richard Rorty in a series of essays. Rorty sees liberal democracy as a form of non-religious religion, the substance of which is faith in the future of a moral humanity. The prophets of this religion are the poets who are capable of creating an inspiring image of this future. Traditional religions have a place in liberal democracies but only as projects for individual perfection.
