Modern secularity represents reconstruction of the modern due to human existence has always been connected with the idea of Absolute. In that idea Christianity follows Greek philosophical thought that providence and presence of absolute being is connected with the idea of good and telos. Secular domain to suppose domain of human existence which dismiss divine intervention but command strictly human shape of engagement in that way that secular humanism bring to extreme and nihilism where human will receive absolute freedom in which moral values doesn’t exist.
