Abstract
This article examines the intersections between religion and education by taking the central European educational tradition known as Bildung to bear on a re-reading of the relations between the secular "consciousness" and religion. The need for a change in the secular consciousness was already advocated by Habermas. Setting itself apart from Habermas’ position, however, this article challenges the dichotomy between religion and the secular mindset, by throwing a light on the continuity between secular education and its religious roots in the European scene.
