Summary/Abstract: Juxtaposing on a world that claims its autonomy in relation to God, the ideaof divinity being opposable to the modern concept of individual freedom, theeconomic globalisation is synonymous to a society, in a desacralizing process, rejects programmatically the three essential coordinates of the traditional Christianlife - based in the evangelical support: a. the confessing community, the divinehuman Church, based, supported and actualised by the principle of the apostoliccontinuity and of the Holy Ghost, bringing into the present liturgically and sacramental the sacrifi ce and the resurrection of Christ; b. the authentic spirituality,based on the complete and unaltered revelation of a Trinity God, refl ected by theHoly Gospel and the Holy Tradition - the base and the guarantee of the evangelicTruth; c. the eschatological expectation, the fi rm belief of the ontological fulfi lmentof the human being at the end of times in God. Starting from these considerations,our study aims to present some aspects related to alienating relation between theglobal economy and religion, during the progressive passage to the post-industrialphase of the economic development, together with its effects - the globalisationof the markets, infl uencing, as estrangement, the religious consciousness of thepostmodern man, as well as the manner he understands to believe and practice hisconfession. Our study will relate mostly to the aspects related to the Orthodox faith
