Summary/Abstract: In every historical period, religion invigorates human faith, morality and dignity; for "God has not called us to immorality but to holiness" (1 Thes 4, 7). The majority of the contemporary participants of public philosophical discourses, including Jurgen Habermas in his Glauben und Wissen, compare the tragedy of September 11, 2001 with Biblical events; for the perpetrators of the atrocity acted in a name of God. This fact, according to Habermas, increased vibration of the string of religion in the secularized society: people rushed to synagogues, churches and mosques to pray.
