Summary/Abstract: Religion and politics are constitutive dimensions of both human identity and social life. The aim of this work is to trace some of the current topics, theories and paradigms mapping the dynamics between religion and politics in the contemporary world. The article therefore presents the current state of the debate on religion and politics. It also seeks to introduce the reader to the various trends of interpretation occurring within the shift from a domination of secularizing social sciences to a more integrative, holistic approach to the understanding of religion and its place in our contemporary world.
