This text examines the relationship between the philosophy of religion and the reflection of faith, building on Kant’s conception of morality as independent of religious prerequisites. The author draws on Bonhoeffer’s call for a non-religious interpretation of Christianity and criticizes the conflation of faith with religiosity. Religion is interpreted here as a historical attempt to preserve myth within a profane world, whereas faith is understood as a dynamic orientation fundamentally opposed to mythical and ritual structures. The text emphasizes that the reflection of faith requires the thinker's existential engagement and leads to a transformation of philosophy itself (metanoia). The author analyzes the crisis of modern Protestantism, Barthian theology, and the need for a new philosophical approach to faith that transcends the mere analysis of religious phenomena. The ultimate goal is to defend the uniqueness of the Gospel as a message that emancipates itself from religious forms and demands a constant critical reformation of both thought and the church.
