AMANDO ROBLES, José. Religious Pluralism in the Contemporary World. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.1, pp.110-135. ISSN 2215-2989.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v12i1.3996.

If the dominant thesis in the field of religious studies in the sixties and seventies of the last century was secularization, from the nineties to this day the progressively dominant thesis is that of religious pluralism, presented as its opposite. Of course, secularization as it was predicted at that time did not occur, but neither does religion at the global level remain the same. Currently what we are witnessing is a religious pluralism, it is true, but with important changes in the social functions of religion, which the theory of pluralism runs the risk of making it invisible. Religious pluralism and the changes that took place in religion from then to here are the subject of this work.

Keywords : Religion; Secularization; Contemporary religious pluralism; Religion as a vision of the world; Religion as a source of meaning.
