Over recent years there was an increase in the proportion of people who expressed belief in God. Why ...?

"God is dead" said the German philosopher Nietzsche, the nineteenth century, and from there, throughout modernity, intellectuals expressed their various religions would be finished.

But the truth is that the distressing time of the postmodern resurgence made faith in God. According to an independent survey, in 20 years the belief in God rose from an average of 90 percent to 95 percent.

While the economic crisis that we live in a large number of countries seem to be the cause that drives the search for a salvation that does not pass through the economy, experts from various fields show that in reality are not so much the economics as if spiritual which come into play to account for this renewed faith.

It happens that, according to these experts, one of the factors leading to distress in times of postmodernity is an overly rationalist and dehumanized society, not certainties, and where the gap seems to fill everything and thus, for the significance and meaning to their lives, many people are turning to faith in God, in seeking to bring these issues to overcome, beyond the economic difficulties which may or may not have.
Change of scenery

During the decades of 60 and 70, were able to demonstrate a significant decline of faith in God. Those were the days of Jean Paul Sastre and bet the man as the creator of everything, without anything or anyone before him.

Many people began to adhere to this theory, but something happened to be showing a regression to the values of the past, to the point that today religion is already part of the agenda of most people.

Many sociologists point out that there is no longer so afraid from the people to express their belief, as happened in the past when this was seen as something that was going against the natural evolution of societies. Therefore, they note, also increased the supply of religion.

According to experts, this increased religious fervor has not yet moved to the institutional, and indeed many people can not establish a harmonious relationship between faith and institutional channels to carry it out.
