Summary/Abstract: Even if, generally speaking, “religion is the source and soul of culture”, we are witnessing a cultural evisceration of religion, through the phrase of cultural christianity, promoted as a legitimate, current approach to religious commitment, a supposedly more open understanding of the dimension of faith in the lives of individuals. It slides from the internalization of faith to a faith of so called educated people, which assumes faith more as a social mechanism than as a path with soteriological valences.What he is proposing is a detachment of the christian’s heart from his belief for an objective questioning of the faith, liberation from the bodice of subjectivity and organization of a fixed agenda, without margin of error, of the religious approach.
