Noile paradigme ale secularizării
The new paradigm of secularization

Summary/Abstract: In this article we’ve tried to analyze the new coordinates which redefine the identity of the phenomenon of secularization. This phenomenon, we cannot say that is outdated or that it is linear, but hassuffered some “paradigm” changes. New paradigms don’t turn society“atheist” but diversify it (religiously) so much so, that traditional religions are no longer able to keep up with new religious movements. Nowadays man no longer removes religion from society but returns it, ina different form given by his own whims. Every person has the right to choose the form of religiosity that suits them. Man is not in the serviceof religion but religion in his service. Transcendent has value only if itserves the immanent world. Religion is no longer the window for thesacred, and the holy becomes merely a public commodity. The differencein relation to the classical forms of secularization is that now the sacred becomes revitalized, returned, but in more shapes.
