The Centre for Culture and Education "Logos" in cooperation with the Institute for Religious and SocialResearch and the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Tuzla organized a scientific conference:"Religion, Politics, Secularism" on the 2nd and 3rd October 2020., with the participation of scientistsfrom Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), Croatia and Serbia. The consideration of the historical connectionbetween religion and politics, through the meaningful understanding of secularization, contextualizesus on the margins of the modern era where one can read the meaning and significance of the historicaldestiny of B&H and its social, religious, confessional, national and cultural subjects. From elevencontributions from this scientific conference, only one of them (Tadic, Sljivo 2020) explicitly, and threeof them implicitly (Krivak 2020, Pešić 2020, Hodžić 2020) contextualize the subject of their studies inthe narrow framework of the given theme: "Religion, Politics, Secularism". The other sevencontributions, although theoretically and methodologically outside of the (self)referenced, consciousepochal relationship of religion, politics, and secularization, illuminate the aspects of the problems inthe question in their own way, and sometimes from a quite unexpected angle
