Critique of Religion

Atheism has both a conventional meaning and a more broadly defined systematic one. In the first case, atheism refers to the denial of God’s existence or the denial of the meaningfulness of religious orientation. The second case is more complex: What, specifically, is being denied in atheism has evolved, ranging from the specific rejection of dogmatic doctrines to a comprehensive critique of religion. In the course of this development, theology as well has sought to establish a productive relationship with atheism by integrating elements of this opposing position into the architecture of faith.

The term “Theologies of Religion” refers to the field within systematic theology that deals with the relationship of the Christian faith and the community of the faithful (Church) to other religions. It involves the examination of religious plurality in general as well as questions that emerge in relation to specific non-Christian religions (such as Islam).
