“Between Religious Disbelief and Traditional Faith,” directed by Dennis vanden Auweele
Especially for Western, secularized individuals, being religious—and particularly in the traditional sense—is far from a given. How will this evolve?
For a long time, philosophers held the view that religion would systematically fade away from society. This process has stalled somewhat, and certain radical strands of atheism are seeking to reignite it. This radical atheism (e.g., Richard Dawkins, Etienne Vermeersch, Herman Philipse) is losing its appeal, especially among philosophers. Rather than religion disappearing entirely, many philosophers believe that religion must reinvent itself in light of ongoing criticism.
Will a new form of religiosity be reborn from the ashes of tradition? And what will it look like? We’ll explore this topic with philosopher of religion Dr. Dennis vanden Auweele, seeking the middle ground between religion and atheism, which “in many cases is also a form of religion.”
