The Non-religion of the Future: A Sociological Study

In this thoughtful investigation, religion is examined not as a set of doctrines but as humanity’s instinct to forge social bonds beyond the immediate world. Drawing on a wide range of historical definitions, the author shows how myth, mysticism and moral thinking all stem from the same tendency to map human relationships onto the forces of nature. By treating religious sentiment as a universal “sociomorphism,” the work reveals the hidden pattern that links everything from ancient thunder‑gods to modern ethical systems.

From that foundation the study moves toward a provocative claim: the age of rigid, dogmatic faiths is gradually giving way to a new “non‑religion,” a mode of meaning that discards supernatural authority while retaining the social glue once provided by worship. The author distinguishes this emerging stance from any imagined “religion of the future,” suggesting it may become the dominant way we relate to each other and to the world. Listeners will find a clear, scholarly narrative that invites reflection on the evolving role of belief in contemporary life.
