Postsecularism refers to a range of theories regarding the persistence or resurgence of religious beliefs or practices in the present.
Jürgen Habermas is widely credited for popularizing the term,[7][8] to refer to current times in which the idea of modernity is perceived as failing and, at times, morally unsuccessful, so that, rather than a stratification or separation, a new peaceful dialogue and tolerant coexistence between the spheres of faith and reason[9] must be sought in order to learn mutually.
Modern societies that have considered themselves fully secular until recently have to change their value systems accordingly as to properly accommodate this co-existence.
[13] Charles Taylor's A Secular Age is also frequently invoked as describing the postsecular,[14] though there is sometimes disagreement over what each author meant with the term.
[18] In literary studies, the term has been used to indicate a sort of postmodern religious or spiritual sensibility in certain contemporary texts.
