Religion and religiousness seem to constantly stimulate human reflection which moves forward in different currents, they seem to encourage reasoning focused on them. This concerns the whole array of human matters, including fundamental existential situations and moral choices. Such reasoning is often subordinated to religion when arguments for religious beliefs are considered. Frequently, this is also critical and uninhibited reflection, which aims at unmasking religious illusions. The dispute is whether this can be neutral reflection only for cognitive analysis of religious phenomena or whether this reflection always enhances or weakens reli gious beliefs. It is currently accepted to talk about “religious thinking”, which is developing in the modern pluralistic world. The subject of religious thinking should be the contents of one or more religions and their anthropological consequences (the vision of the sense of human life) as well as axiological ones (the vision of values) which co-shape culture and society. Religious thinking is broader than reasoning on religion practiced within a particular religion. Religious thinking can be also developed by people who declare being agnostics or atheists. Religious thinking develops and forms in the environment of contemporary religious and ideological pluralism. Moreover, it is a manifestation of this pluralism, which functions in the sphere of religion and transforms this sphere. What is explored in religious think ing is the issue of transcendence (“transgressing”, “going beyond”) and the “trails of transcendence” which come from outside of religious faith and seem to lead to its inside. The trails come out from the position of those who keep distance and are critical towards religious faith. According to someone’s judgement, a particular trace can be viewed as transcendence trail, even such which leads to religiously un derstood (written with capital “T”) transcendence. Still, someone with a different attitude will not recognize any transcendence trail in this trace and can consider such a view as unjustified overinterpretation of this trace. Trails do not have the power of obviousness which an undisputed proof has. However, they open a space of interpretation, in which some approaches can appear typical of traditional religious visions as well as of indefinite religious searching in the spiritual sphere (called “new spirituality”)
