Abstract

In current times we have noticed crucial changes with real mutations in the lives of individuals and societies. Religions, which often show resistance to change and fear the new, are shaking in its foundations by movements linked to changing times and changing paradigm. This article discusses how the different religions are now at a crossroads where you have to make a choice: acquire new ways and steps, or simply disappear as significant and inspiring instances for adults. If religions want to keep offering such a horizon of meaning for humanity, bringing their energy and transforming power to remake our world, they have to be placed differently and reconfigured, as well as to rethink and recreate their practices, interpretations and languages.
