This introductory essay points to the long patterns as well as the telling diversity of relationships revealed in genealogies of the race/religion/war triad. Our key observation is that race, religion, and war come together as a meaningful constellation precisely because they together underpin one dominant strategy of the power that we call the political, while at the same time we recognize that the relationships among race, religion, and war are simultaneously too compressed, historically transient, and reversible to take the form of a simple functionalism; indeed, at any particular moment their articulation is historically specific and subject to rearticulation. From the religious crucibles for the formation of race in the conquest of the Americas to the pastoral Christian origins of modern racial governmentality; from the colonial wars of high imperialism and the third-world proxy wars for the purportedly secular rivalry of the Cold War to the contemporary conditions of Muslim migrant and refugee communities—these multiple overlapping genealogies, we argue, are necessary reference points for an adequate analysis of our political present. As one way to think across these genealogies, we highlight the intersection of two ostensibly parallel scholarly trajectories: race as political theology and race as political ontology. Both of these trajectories point toward the condensed relationships among our three terms, illuminating in the process the deep structure of our present.

Esta ponencia tiene como objetivo presentar la crítica que hace Marx a la religión a partir de tres variables de análisis. La primera, el lugar de la religión en el sistema marxista teniendo como referentes la crítica filosófica de la religión, la crítica política de la filosofía y de la religión y la crítica materialista de la filosofía , la religión y la política. La segunda, la actualidad de la crítica de la religión a partir de la recepción crítica de la crítica marxista de la religión y las consecuencias del fracaso del comunismo. Y la tercera, los desafíos del marxismo a la existencia y la conciencia religiosa por una nueva cultura política a partir de una pregunta nueva sobre la verdad, un redescubrimiento de la historia y la mirada sobre la figura del pobre-proletario, sujeto universal de la historia. ; This paper aims to present Marx's critique of religion from three variables of analysis. The first, the place of religion in the Marxist system having as references the philosophical critique of religion, the political critique of philosophy and religion and the materialist critique of philosophy, religion and politics. The second is the relevance of the critique of religion based on the critical reception of the Marxist critique of religion and the consequences of the failure of communism. And the third, the challenges of Marxism to the existence and the religious conscience for a new political culture from a new question about the truth, a rediscovery of history and the look on the figure of the poorproletarian, universal subject of the history.

Kien Tran und Fakhir Zainab gehen im ersten Beitrag der Frage nach, welchen Stellenwert Religion aktuell in der Lebenswelt junger Menschen in Deutschland hat. Sie weisen darauf hin, dass sich der religiöse Glaube für die Mehrzahl der Jugendlichen in den individuell-persönlichen Raum verschoben hat oder weitgehend verschwunden ist. Tradierte religiöse Formen und konfessionelle Bindungen verlören für christliche Jugendliche zunehmend an Bedeutung, stellen Tran und Zainab fest. Dagegen nehme der religiöse Glaube bei der wachsenden Zahl muslimischer junger Menschen weiterhin einen hohen Stellenwert ein. Der Beitrag informiert auch über Befunde des Projekts "Radikal, fundamentalistisch, anders - Fachkräfte im Kontakt (RaFiK)"; dabei werden u.a. Konfliktsituationen in der pädagogischen Arbeit mit streng religiös Heranwachsenden beleuchtet.

We observe today an astonishing spectacle. Just as during the worst period of the French Revolution, Christianity, and particularly the Catholic Church, is under systematic attack in wide parts of the world, in the Soviet Union, in its European satellites, and in Red China. These countries are under control of groups which profess an atheistic doctrine. The official doctrine of the Soviet world expresses the belief that religion will disappear; it permits the application of tactics which strangulate Church life slowly, but successfully. Leading members of the hierarchy have been arrested and sentenced; schools and monasteries have been closed down; religious orders disbanded; missionary work of centuries has been destroyed. All this is accomplished by systematic and carefully planned campaigns. Every means of deception is used. In profoundly Catholic countries like Poland, caution prevails; in others brutal terror is applied. And all measures against Church life are presented, despite the clear atheism of the official doctrine, as measures against reactionaries and political counter-revolutionaries; churchmen are accused of being American agents and allies of Imperialism and Capitalism
