Abstract

The main question in this article is whether there is something called the return of religion? In The new Christian theology which flourishes in the context of Post-metaphysical, the death of metaphysical God has been replaced by the death of God and the divine. Thinkers such as Vattimo and caputo which to believe in Post-metaphysical God seeking to religion without religion and faith without the certain knowledge and this is what it called as "believing without belonging" and "belonging without believing". In this new situation, not dogmatic and objective philosophies, but the "weak" thought comes. On the other hand, sociologists of religion, as Berger and Casanova, talk to the de-secularization of the world and post-secularism. In This situation, religion moved from the public sphere to the private sphere and through the return of religion, public and private former boundaries are mixed.
