We live in the what is called 'Age of Something Religious'. In this age, we need some virtues to read and interpret everyday life. This writing is focused on what korean folk religion retains in meaning. People used to have a notion that korean folk religion is something deficient, even not official or not modern. I can't agree that opinion. I have mind to think it such as 'Dasein' by M. Heidegger. Many people should rather think that some religions in each epoch have been taken part in important roles and positions. So I focus on korean folk belief. I think that korean folk religion have important meaning, religious meaning. So I call korean folk belief 'Gikimi Faith'. 'Gikimi Faith' means belief for keeping their 'Sitz im Leben'. And it is to be divided into faith of village and faith of house. In faith of village, people served their gods with religious ritual on the mountain or at the entrance of their village named as San-je Keori-je or Maul-je. And in faith of house, each family served house gods. They believed each house is body of god, named Sung-ju. As building house, people look upon as making body of god. Out of House, especially, Maru is very important space in two aspects. At first, Maru is sacred place on which religious rituals have been performed as house belief. Next, on Maru encounter the sacred and the profane. And we can also experience the sacred. In other words, we can encounter the sacred through the profane. The profane is our everyday life through which people experience the sacred. Because of this ways, I call the same space like Maru by inter-space. Holding their keeping faith, they understand their location for daily life as small cosmos and wish to keep it from others. According to Mircea Eliade, that is because of 'Religious Humanity'. In our secular age, 'Gykimi Faith' for keeping themselves can become a solution to find meaning of something religious. That keeping faith may appear to us as a sort of 'The old future'. 'Gikimi Faith' also says that we have to take religious searching for something meaningful and true. And also we need focus on religious ritual and inter-space for shifting every place into holiness. In the age of something religious, we need also 'Religious Human' who can read usual things religious. According to M. Eliade, Religious person lives within open world, and therefore, His existence is unclosed to the world, while Non-religious Person dwells within closed world, therefore His vision is not clear, has no dialogue-partner with, and has no keyword for our world. Now we need Religious Person who is open hermetically. This paper consists of five chapters as followings. Ch.Ⅰ. Prologue Ch.Ⅱ. Theoretical Research of Eliade's Understanding for Religion Ch.Ⅲ. Religious Thought for Korean Gikimi-faith Ch.Ⅳ. Cultural Significance for Gikimi-faith Ch.Ⅴ. Epilogue I hope that people should inquire into korean traditional faith with affection more openly.

본 연구의 목적은 엘리엇의 인본주의적 관점이 종교적 개념으로 신학적인 기존연구들과 앵글로 가톨리시즘 연구를 통해 어떻게 이해되는지 살펴보고 종교와 사회공동체를 연결하려는 엘리엇의 노력이 세속적인 인본주의와 기독교 인본주의와도 어떤 면에서 다른지 알아보기 위한 것이다. 앵글로 가톨릭으로의 그의 개종은 대부분 선조의 종교인 유니테리언과 철학적 연구를 통한 회의적 태도와 어빙 배빗의 사회적 토대, 흄의 원죄이론과 랜슬럿 앤드류즈의 삼위일체와 성육화를 강조하는 설교에 의해 복합적으로 영향을 받았으며 개인 자유주의와 신앙 문제를 제기한다. 이 연구는 엘리엇의 궁극적인 종교적 성향이 앵글로 가톨릭 공동체를 토대로 한 종교적 삶에서 인본주의와 지성인의 종교적 기능이 필요하다는 것을 제시한다. 그의 신앙의 핵심으로서 감정을 통제하는 종교적인 인본주의에 대한 엘리엇의 관점은 전통적이고 체계적인 종교적 정신을 깊게 하는 것과 앵글로 가톨릭의 옥스퍼드 운동과 밀접하게 관련된 고교회적 기독교적 성향에 헌신하는 것으로 그의 지적으로 얽혀진 종교적 신념과 사회적 삶을 이해하는 것을 가능하게 한다.
