(2023) Understanding social phenomena linked to religion: in search of an alternative approach that combines science with religious insights. Religions, 14(1), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.3390/rel14010068.2077-144410.3390/rel14010068https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/44808Some contemporary social phenomena, despite secularization, are still linked to religion. However, this same secularization seems to have accompanied a progressive process of religious illiteracy. Therefore, the capacity to address religious inspired issues is lower than the magnitude of the problems at work, be violent right-wing movement and Islamist terrorism or ethical debates on the beginning and end of life, to name but a few. Hence, this paper aims to fulfil three goals: to revisit secularism and some liberal assumptions that might prevent a correct understanding of these phenomena, to assess some of the consequences of the critique of ideologies and to propose an alternative approach to address religious inspired social phenomena.application/pdfeng© 2022 by the authors.
