Abstract

This paper attempts to trace the interactive relationship, that has arisen throughout history between religion and secularism, by presenting the narratives of secularization about the neutralization of religion from the public sphere, and its prediction of the decline of religion, even from the private sphere in societies undergoing the modernization process, we will also address the resurgence of religion and present the two most significant theses in philosophy and Sociology (The Desecularization of the world by Peter Berger, and Post-secularism by Jürgen Habermas), which discuss secularism’s incorrect prediction regarding the decline of religion, and the nature of the religion resurgence within the secularized social sphere, from two different perspectives.
