Abstract
The author demonstrates that the reconstruction of the genesis of this principle enables us to see that it is not an efficient tool to attain the objectives that were put forward by its creator . The neutrality is merely declared but in effect it is not achieved. The reasons for this failure are explained in the article through the concepts of externalization, objectivation and internalization - elements of Berger’s theory that he applied to describe the society formation process. Ignoring the fact that the principle in question results from these processes leads to an erroneous conclusion that methodological atheism allows us to remove the spell from the world around us and overcome the religiously legitimized alienation.
