Summary/Abstract: This essay intends to interpret the universally proclaimed (contrary to the actual situation prevailing throughout the world) end of religion and “the death of God” within the horizon of Heideggerian reflection about the tasks of thought in the wake of the end of philosophy. It is also inspired by the writings of Jean-Luc Marion, Marcel Gauchet, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Richard Kearney, constitutes a subjective outline of the history of religion as the history of assorted forms of religiosity, and aims at a deconstruction of the titular conceits: “gods”, “truth”, “are no more” and “already”. Consequently, the author discloses a perspective of thinking about the “resurrection of God”, which transcends the realm of knowledge and requires faith and thus opens up towards the possibility of meeting The Most Important One.
