Bergson sought the establishment of a new metaphysics, one that would lead the human being to a deeper knowledge of himself and the cosmos, and that in this process would found a new morality, as well as other gnosiological categories that transcend the violent instrumentalism of a slave world of an excessively baconian science. In this article we intend to show how, at the end of his work and life, the religious theme emerges as a privileged field for the realization and understanding of the totality and the essence of his refounding project of philosophy. From criticism to Jamesian pragmatism (as an excellent representative of the spirit of our time) to mysticism as the only way out for the human being (transcending a geometric thought towards the thought of duration), Bergson draws on the horizon, even at a time blind to this questioning, the question of whether, in fact, as an unsuspecting intelligence believes, religion died as an active agent in Western intellectual dialogue.
