Postsecularism refers to a range of theories regarding the persistence or resurgence of religious beliefs or practices in the present. The "post-" may refer to after the end of secularism or after the beginning of secularism.

The term “postsecular” has been used in sociology, political theory,[1][2] religious studies, art studies,[3] literary studies[4][5] and other fields. Jürgen Habermas is widely credited for popularizing the term,[6][7] to refer to current times in which the idea of modernity is perceived as failling 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 must be sought in order to learn mutually.[8] In this sense, Habermas insists that religious people and secularist people should not exclude each other, but to learn from one another and coexist tollerantly.[9][10]

Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age is also frequently invoked as describing the postsecular.[11]

There is wide disagreement over the meaning of the term. Particularly contested is the question of whether “postsecular” refers to a new sociological phenomenon or to a new awareness of an existing phenomenon—that is, whether society was secular and now is becoming post-secular or whether society was never and is not now becoming secular even though many people had thought it was or thought it was going to be.[12][13] Some suggest that the term is so conflicted as to be of little use.[14] Others suggest that the flexibility of the term is one of its strengths.[15]

In literary studies, the term has been used to indicate a sort of postmodern religious or spiritual sensibility in certain contemporary texts.[16]

Se da por fallida la idea central de la modernidad de que la religión iba a desaparecer y se establece una nueva relación entre razón y religión. Habermas plantea que es necesario emprender un aprendizaje mutuo entre las sociedades modernas y las creencias, o entre razón secular y fe. Se inicia una nueva época de mutuas tolerancias. La razón no puede echar por la borda el potencial de sentido de las religiones y éstas deben traducir sus contenidos racionalmente."
