Summary/Abstract: The article presents the concept of a lived religion, which corresponds to modern forms of experiencing the sacred. Postmodernity emphasizes religious experience, often individual, apart from institutionalization of churches. The concept of a lived religion complies with new forms of the sacred stressing, among others, the meaning of embodiment, discourse, materiality and sensational forms in religious experiences. The concept of a lived religion focuses on a person practicing religion, however, ignoring the issues of transcendence, truth and supernatural effects.
