As a historical-social phenomenon that occurred in the West, secularization brought about the loss of plausibility of the institutional religion that maintained temporal control over all aspects of society. With the advent of modernity, a paradigm shift has occurred, as theocentrism was replaced by anthropocentrism, and revelation by scientific knowledge. Rationalism and scientific knowledge brought unquestionable social and material improvements to mankind, nevertheless a gap has been opened, paradoxically, as new social and existential crises have emerged in secular society. Living with this existential emptiness, modern mankind opens itself again to spiritual reality, which does not mean a return to traditional religions, but a return to the sacred manifested in multiple forms so that contemporary human beings re-signify their spirituality. / A presente disserta??o de Mestrado em Teologia, ?A seculariza??o e o Sagrado: uma rela??o dial?tica com implica??es na religiosidade contempor?nea?, examina a rela??o entre a seculariza??o e o sagrado e seus desdobramentos no devir hist?rico. Como fen?meno hist?rico-social que ocorreu no Ocidente, a seculariza??o provocou a perda de plausibilidade da religi?o institucional que mantinha o controle temporal em todos os aspectos da sociedade. Com o advento da modernidade, ocorreu uma mudan?a de paradigma, o teocentrismo ? substitu?do pelo antropocentrismo, e a revela??o ? substitu?da pelo saber cient?fico. O racionalismo e o saber cient?fico trouxeram inquestion?veis melhorias sociais e materiais ? humanidade, n?o obstante, um fosso foi aberto, pois, paradoxalmente, novas crises sociais e existenciais sobrevieram ? sociedade secular. Convivendo com o vazio existencial, o homem moderno abre-se novamente ? realidade espiritual, o que n?o significa um retorno ?s religi?es tradicionais, mas sim um retorno ao sagrado que se manifesta em m?ltiplas formas de modo que o ser humano contempor?neo ressignifica sua espiritualidade.
