Religiosity in the 21st century: mysticism, atheism or indifference

Abstract

In this paper we will talk about the religious perception problem among the lay community and the religious indifference, as well as we will question what the church’s role is in keeping faith and its renewal and how deep is relativism in our community. Based on previous studies sustained by specialized literature, we will develop a field work (inquiry) that will confirm the tendencies described in the theoretical part. We will find that in our community there’s not a religious indifference but an accommodated Catholicism in which people only do and accept what’s pleasant and easy in religion, refusing or just resisting to the hard parts, namely the religious practices.
