Abstract
The main thesis is that the religious is located at the intersection of the imagination on the one hand and the experience of the real on the other. In order to verify this thesis, three subtheses are formulated.
The first subthesis asserts that the experience of the religious is an absolute limit within the capacity of the living body. The second subthesis states that the religious experience moves between two poles, namely between the fact of being dependent on our egocentric tendency and a reality that absolutely transcends us; and the third subthesis refers to the fact that there are two possible reactions to that which absolutely transcends me: either I stow it away in my house and reinforce my natural egocentric attitude, or I leave the doors open and do not try in any way to capture the absolute.
