What Is Postmodernism in Religion?

Postmodernism Definition Postmodernism is a philosophy that says 
absolute truth does not exist. Supporters of postmodernism deny long-held 
beliefs and conventions and maintain that all viewpoints are equally valid. 
In today's society, postmodernism has led to relativism, 
the idea that all truth is relative. 
That means what is right for one group is not necessarily right or 
true for everyone. The most obvious example is sexual morality. 
Christianity teaches that sex outside of marriage is wrong. 

Postmodernism would claim that such a view might pertain to Christians 
but not to those who don't follow Jesus Christ; therefore, sexual morality 
has become much more permissive in our society in recent decades. 
Taken to extremes, postmodernism argues that what society says
 is illegal, such as drug use or stealing, is not necessarily 
wrong for the individual. 

Five Main Tenets of Postmodernism Jim Leffel, a Christian apologist, 

and director of The Crossroads Project outlined the primary tenets of postmodernism in these five points: 

1. Reality is in the mind of the beholder. Reality is what's real 

    to me, and I construct my own reality in my mind. 

2. People are not able to think independently because they 

     are defined “scripted,” molded by their culture. 

3. We cannot judge things in another culture or another person’s life, 

   because our reality may be different from theirs. There is 

    no possibility of “transcultural objectivity.” 

4. We are moving in the direction of progress, but are arrogantly 

    dominating nature and threatening our future. 

5. Nothing is ever proven, either by science, history, or any other 

    discipline.
