ABSTRACT
Modern society is secularised society. It is a society for which the entire
atmosphere is formed steadily less by the sacred and steadily more by the
profane. The disenchantment of the world as diagnosed by Max Weber
extensively defines a society that is governed by Enlightenment and ration-
alism. The question of technical feasibility suppresses the metaphysical
question of origin and meaning. Unavoidably, religion comes to collide with
the demands and results of science. It moves into the margins of interest
and loses its cultural plausibility.1
