MESOP CULTURE : ISLAM ? POSITIV-LIBERAL ? – NEIN !
Religionskritik ist notwendig – und sie sollte die Unterschiede zwischen den Religionen nicht ignorieren.
von Uli Krug – jungle world Jan 2017
Die Säkularisierung gehört zum innersten Kern der Aufklärung. Religion zu kennzeichnen als das, was sie ist, nämlich als Ausdruck von Unmündigkeit, sprich: fatalistisch-autoritärer Herrschafts- und Naturverfallenheit, steht am Beginn jeglicher Individualisierung, die diesen Namen verdient. Darauf hätten sich Religionskritiker wie Diderot, Feuerbach und Marx mit einiger Wahrscheinlichkeit einigen können – und keinesfalls vertragen sich fadenscheinige Zugeständnisse an in säkularisierten Gesellschaften ins Private verwiesene religiöse Wahnvorstellungen irgend mit kritischem Geist. Darüber dürfte an dieser Stelle sicher Einigkeit herrschen.
Problematisch, ja nachgerade unredlich wird Religionskritik aber da, wo getan wird, als sei Religion gleich Religion, als unterschieden sich Religionen nicht entscheidend voneinander, sowohl in Hinsicht auf ihren theoretisch-theologischen Gehalt als auch in ihrem historisch-praktischen Kontext, kurz: in ihrer Zivilisationsfähigkeit.
