Transition of society from modernism to postmodernism\, from different ideological and social policies \;to new ones\, placed religion in a dynamic of significance\, \;adaptation\, position in relation with secular condition of the world. \;Some sociologists and theologians have stated few theses that \;advanced\, starting with the 20th century\, \;the minimization of the position of religion in the configuration of \;social space: demystifying the world through rationalization\, \;stadial consciousness theory\, declining religious authority\, the theory \;of religion disappearance. All this indicated \;a negative prognosis for the future of religion. Despite the reality \;of secularization and its effects on religion\, P. Berger observed at \;the beginning of the 21st century a completely unexpected \;metamorphosis and contrary to the pessimism of the persistence \;of religion in society\, which leads him to enunciate a new reality: \;desecularization of the world. The conference intends to analyze \;these new trends of relation between religion and society\, religion and secularization\, religion and culture\, religion and philosophy and also the new conditions that derives from them.
