Abstract

In this paper I analyze some keys on what should be the place of religion in public-social sphere. First, I briefly discuss the concept of seculariza-tion that are beneficiaries of Western societies. Second, I examine the place of religion in the public sphere from the proposal of Jürgen Habermas, dividing it into two levels: a policy level of interaction with religion, which is based in turn on a descriptive level, of analysis of religion in dialectical connection with secu-lar reason. Finally, I draw some conclusions concerning the civic ethos which is expected of the stakeholders.
