Abstract

In the northern part of the former GDR there are many church buildings that are renovated, well taken care of but serving small number of believers. Although retaining some religious functions, they are at the same time used by actors that define themselves as not religious. Using concepts of nonreligous and postreligious as analytical terms referring to specific kinds of relations between religious and secular fields, I analyze cases of three Protestant churches, within the context of Polish-German relations in this region. I show that we should bring to a logical conclusion Talal Asad’s observation that religion is a historical category which is constantly redefined through its relationship with an equally mutable category of the secular.

Keywords:

nonreligion, postreligion, Talal Asad, church buildings, Polish-German relations
