Disbeliefs, science and religion: the necessary dialogue between the transcendent and naturalized spirituality

Abstract

This work is part of the contemporary reflections about the interaction between theism and atheism. The main idea is to think about the possibility and necessity of reconciling harmoniously the new insights on the reality generated by the techno-scientific advances, social changes, and the place currently occupied by the traditional and institutional and transcendent religiosity and the immanent spirituality generated by the philosophical naturalism. The purpose of this work is to examine the causes, foundations and problems of the so called naturalized spirituality. In this regard, the paper aims to briefly observe the limitations and difficulties of the spiritual and irreligious disbeliefs based on scientific and immanentist assumptions. The work seeks to contribute to the promotion of dialogue and mutual understanding by the plurality of existing positions, mainly between the transcendent and naturalized spirituality.
