The multiplicity of religious experience in the secular age

Abstract

The modern moral order is being modified with the process of secularization. Many ethical challenges have arisen, among them those that inescapably confront the phenomenon of varieties of religious experience.  The question is: what does it mean to say that we live in a secular age? I read William James' thought about the concept of atomized religious experience; then I deal with the atomized and holistic religious experience in the criticism woven by Charles Taylor. Finally, I bring the perspective of Pedro Casaldáliga and José María Vigil, who postulate the notion of ethical indignation as a religious experience of liberation. It is concluded that both individually and collectively, the human agent has to experience their religiosity from the perspective of ethical indignation.
