In this paper, we will first look at Dewey‘s work –A Common Faith” and its religious message. We will then analyze Dewey‘s idiosyncratic concept of God and relate in some contemporary notions from American pragmatist philosophies and theologies (R. Rorty, W. Dean, etc.). In the second part, the possibility of a new religious notion of intersubjectivity will be first discussed. We will wind up with an ethical and educational relevance of Dewey’s philosophy of religion and the related pragmatic theology.
