In the last two decades, the question of religion has become a central concern of many philosophers belonging to the Continental philosophical tradition. As the interest in religion has grown within Continental philosophy, so also has the question of Martin Heidegger’s relationship with religion. This paper poses the question of what religion meant to Martin Heidegger in the development of phenomenology as ontology; how he preconceived the notion of religion and why he eventually denied any authenticity to religion. In engaging with this question, the paper will also attempt to disclose some delimitations of Heidegger’s approach to religion.

This paper concentrates on the issue of what happens to the confidence one has in the justification of one's belief when one discovers an epistemic peer with conflicting higher and/or lower order evidences. Certain symmetries surface during epistemic peer disagreement, which tend to make one less confident. The same happens in religious disagreements. Mostly externalist perspectives are considered. The epistemology of ordinary disagreements and that of religious ones behave similarly, such that principles used in the former can be seen to apply also in the latter.

Richard Schaeffler is a contemporary German Christian philosopher, who is currently developing a new kind of transcendental philosophy. The paper focuses on the way he pursues thinking about God who, in his view, can be understood as "the freedom that sets one free". Schaeffler believes the designation is acceptable for both religion and philosophy. He is convinced that one can postulate a personal God philosophically in a post‑Kantian, revised version of transcendental philosophy. Religious experience demonstrates what is being postulated philosophically. The philosophical concept of God is therefore not empty, but instead answers the experience of religious man. The paper also reflects on the thought of the Czech philosopher Karel Říha. He also belongs to those authors who like Schaeffler have developed the transcendental method in a new way. They both join one line of thought, agree in many aspects and Říha has referred many times to Schaeffler´s works.

In this paper I will take into account the historical, religious and philosophical aspects of the examination of conscience, penance and satisfaction, as well as ritual confession and cure, in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. I will also take into account the difficulties that baptized Chinese Christians met in sacramental Catholic confession. Human history proves that in every culture and religion, man has always had a need to be cleansed from evil and experience mutual forgiveness. What ritual models were used by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism? To what degree did these models prove to be true? What are the connections between a real experience of evil, ritual confession, forgiveness and cure in Chinese religions and philosophies?
