A postreligional Christianity?

Abstract

I assume that the foundational Christianity is not a religion but a sort of suprareligious humanism. I support this statement by submitting different dimensions of the primitive Christianity to a postreligional hermeneutics. I consider that what we call Christianity is a deviation of the religious institutional Christianity that started with the Edict of Milan, but that was prepared earlier from the Pastoral Letters. In this perspective, the current crisis of the religious system of Christianity emerges as an opportunity of returning to the origins of a supra and interreligious Christianity. Finally, I propose to consider contemporary Christianity, for it is closely linked to the historical adventure of the West, as the best prepared spiritual movement to deal with the postreligional spin and also to propose to other religions that have been less accustomed to Western criticism and self-criticism than Christianity a new space to the religious phenomenon in the context of modernity.
