An english translated text on this separate page<\/a> resumes the rised questions in a text of Prof Dr Dr Eric Hilgendorf:<\/p>\n

While conservative politicians claim a christian-patriotic leading culture (\u201cValues of the Christian occident\u201d) and sometimes call to the arms against \u201cgodless and unpatriotic fellows\u201d others are dreaming of the \u201cmulti-cultural society\u201d incl. a \u201cnaturalization of Islam\u201d. But nei-ther the conservative reanimation of the idea of a \u201cChristian fort Europe\u201d nor the postmodern appeasement politics towards religious and esoteric tendencies will promote the project of an \u201copen society\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Theoretically it should be known that we have nearly no other choice than to bet on that \u201csup-pressed leading culture\u201d , the leading culture of humanism and Enlightenment that was firmly tied to the historical progress of societies. But the politcal establishment is far from seeing this. On the one hand all the great successes of the modern age are due to the tradition of the Enlightenment (technical know-how, a state being founded on the rules of the law, freedom of speech, etc.). On the other hand the Enlightenment still is an \u201cunderground movement\u201d. Mil-lions of people turned their back to the religions in Germany but in politics and in the media they are enormously underrepresented. Today some 32 % of the Germans don\u2019t belong to any religious confession and some 50% say they are \u201cnot religious\u201d but neither politicians nor the media take very much notice of that.<\/p>\n

But what could be done to enforce the enlightening, humanist thinking in social debates? This perspectival question will be in the centre of IBKA\u2019s and GBF\u2019s open meeting \u201cLeading cul-ture Humanism and Enlightenment\u201d. We will discuss topics like \u201cLimits of religious free-dom\u201d, \u201cLeading culture Humanism and Enlightenment\u201d, integrations of migrants and the problem of Islamism\u201d, \u201cmissionary work in the east\u201d or \u201cidelological neutrality of the state?\u201d We will also discuss whether it could help to found a \u201ccentral council of the confessionless\u201d, as GBF recently proposed, to enforce the lobbying for the interests of confessionless people in Germany.

And a german article on wikipedia<\/a>: Die Giordano Bruno Stiftung ist eine gemeinn\u00fctzige Stiftung des b\u00fcrgerlichen Rechts, die sich die \u00ab\u00a0F\u00f6rderung des evolution\u00e4ren Humanismus\u00a0\u00bb zum Ziel gesetzt hat. Sie wurde 2004 von dem Unternehmer Herbert Steffen gegr\u00fcndet und ist nach dem ehemaligen Dominikanerm\u00f6nch Giordano Bruno benannt, der 1600 als Ketzer verurteilt und auf dem Scheiterhaufen hingerichtet wurde. Vorstandssprecher der Stiftung ist derzeit (Nov. 2006) Michael Schmidt-Salomon, der in ihrem Auftrag das Manifest des Evolution\u00e4ren Humanismus geschrieben hat. Von Beginn an war die Stiftung insbesondere dem Werk des Kirchenkritikers Karlheinz Deschner verpflichtet.<\/p>\n

Die Giordano Bruno Stiftung hat eine dezidiert religionskritische Ausrichtung. Sie vertritt die Ansicht, dass Religionen \u201edie kulturelle Evolution der Menschheit bis heute auf unheilvolle Weise beeinflussen\u201c. Mit ihrem Engagement f\u00fcr eine \u00ab\u00a0Leitkultur Humanismus und Aufkl\u00e4rung\u00a0\u00bb versucht sie, sowohl den \u00dcberlegungen einer \u00ab\u00a0deutschen (christlichen) Leitkultur\u00a0\u00bb als auch einem politisch indifferenten Multikulturalismus entgegenzutreten.
