Abstract

Good old Manuel, parish priest of Valverde de Lucerna, thus confessed to Lázaro, assuming his role in the community, aware that this could not be public, since the people should and needed to believe that their religion was the true one. This was what united them and gave meaning to individual and collective identity. Unamuno puts into the mouth of Manuel, the protagonist of his work, the idea from which we start for the elaboration of this essay. A conception of religion, the objective of which is not to judge or assess which of them is true. Religion is presented as the categorization of a human feeling or, to be more specific, a feeling to which the human being tends by nature.
