It is undoubtable that the immigration to the US is largely due to the steady ow of fresh minds and a new spirit that inuences the development of the American society. These new forces help protect the American society from the stagnation experienced in the Old World. The importance of immigrant experiences puts the United States on the brink of a very dicult, but often successful combination of the new and the old. Beyond question, this is true, especially regarding twentieth-century emigrants such as Eva Homan or the family of Alfred Kazin. Although Vladimir Nabokov having been himself an exception, not easy to categorize as writer, in his life as an ØmigrØ in the USA, he could also prove that the absorption of the American culture and language to a large extent took place, and was fruitful. For much of the twentieth century, the immigrant osmosis of the New World was associated with assimilation to the highly desirable, largely monolithic, English culture of the East Coast.

It is often said that in modern times we are dealing with a strong tendency to secularize all manifestations of personal and social life. And indeed, when it comes to the traditional understanding of religion, this is the case. Some even argue that religion is a naturally vanishing phenomenon, which means that there is no future for it (Dennett). However, many postmodern humanists have a different view. They argue, for example, that the present times are not so secularized (Habermas), and religion also plays an important role in the lives of individuals (Kristeva) and societies (Bauman), which should be used for the good of the emerging new culture. However, this understanding of the new religion stripped of its transcendental references is also questioning the durability and value of the new culture based on it.

Często pojawia się stwierdzenie, że w czasach współczesnych mamy do czynienia z silną tendencją do sekularyzacji wszelkich przejawów życia osobistego i społecznego. I rzeczywiście, jeśli chodzi o tradycyjny sposób rozumienia religii, tak właśnie jest. Niektórzy twierdzą nawet, iż religia jest zjawiskiem naturalnie zanikającym, co oznacza, że nie ma dla niej żadnej przyszłości (Dennett). Jednak wielu humanistów postmodernistycznych ma odmienne zdanie. Twierdzą oni np., że obecne czasy nie są wcale tak bardzo zsekularyzowane (Habermas), a religia także i dziś odgrywa ważną rolę w życiu jednostek (Kristeva) i społeczeństw (Bauman), co należy wykorzystać dla dobra rodzącej się nowej kultury. Jednakże tak pojmowane rozumienie nowej religii odartej z transcendentalnych odniesień stawia także pod znakiem zapytania trwałośći wartość opartej na niej nowej kultury.
