Summary/Abstract: The authoress discusses such confusions about man, God, and religion as: 1) atheism (Feuerbach, Marks, Nietzsche, Freud, Sartre), 2) the substitution God by man (the deification of man), 3) religion which as a product of man which alienates him is to be eliminated from his life. These confusions promote some unwanted effects, e.g. secularization, terrism, fights against religion (marxism), or substitutes of religion (New Age). The authoress claims that there is a well-founded need of pursuing for the truth about God, man, and non-ideologized religion. Such a truth can be delivered by the philosophy of religion which stems from classical philosophy. The classical approach to religion defines it as the relation between human person and Divine person where the latter is recognized by man as the ultimate cause and sense of his existence and nature.
