Unbelievers in Sacred Spaces

Summary/Abstract: Whenever a far eastern tourist visits the temples or churches of Italy or any other western country, he or she gets a similar feeling as a westerner who is travelling to Japan and visits a Shinto shrine or a Buddhist temple. They both are strangers to the civilization and religion of the other. They could be considered both unbelievers in the sacred places of the other’s world. Mostly it is not the religious feeling, not the narrative, or the mythology of any religion, but the different forms of art that they are attracted to. These considerations lead to the theory of the new community building role of religions all over the world. The author’s opinion is that the history of community building religions has come to a turning point. He does not consider the history of civilization from polytheism to monotheism as a development for mankind. The only way to preserve humanity and combat religious wars is to find the peaceful way of a new polytheism that can include the unbelievers, too.
