This text reflects on the debate regarding the nature of European "irreligious ontology" and historicity. The author critiques Picht's assertion that the non-religious mentality is outdated, instead defining historicity as inextricably linked to "faith." Faith is understood here not in a religious sense, but as a specific orientation toward the future—an expectation of that which is not yet given. While religion is rooted in myth and the repetition of past archetypes, faith represents an active reliance on the coming future. History is viewed as a space where the subject acts historically by relating to the past through a conscious relationship with the future, overcoming the archaic dread of the unknown. The ultimate shift lies in human self-understanding: man is no longer a being "thrown" into the world, but one defined by a "mission." This mission is not a static destiny but a dynamic series of situational challenges requiring active responses and the shaping of the world.
