Heidegger’s thought is the subject of many disputes among Christian theologians. On the one hand, the terminology and conceptual system of Heidegger’s philosophy is closely related to theology, and on the other hand, he is involved in a fundamental critique of Western metaphysics and its consequence, Christian theology. For this reason, it is not possible to simply expect a Christian theology or any other religion from his thought. He can eventually be accompanied by a kind of theology, provided that this theology has the destruction of metaphysics or ontotheology behind it. Such theology does not exist at present and it can be said that Heidegger’s God and religion are in the future, not the past. The point that this article tries to bring up is that perhaps focusing on Heidegger’s biography or some delving into his thought about theology will give clues to investigate the relationship between Heidegger’s philosophy and religious contents with theology, but thinking about future religion or theology through Heidegger’s thinking needs deeper reflection and research in Heidegger’s texts, and most probably focusing on Heidegger’s biography and insisting on familiar theological terms in some of his works is an obstruction to the correct understanding of his intellectual purpose. Existentialism has opened a new field in human thinking, a field where the world and man find another meaning and concept. In existential philosophies, man is no longer a "talking animal", the act of man is not speaking. Man has no nature at all. The privilege of a human being among other creatures is his choice and will. He is abandoned in this world and he is the one who has to build himself with his choices and decisions. According to Heidegger (one of the most important thinkers of Existence), man is condemned to freedom, the future is open to him, and he is the one who must project his plans and possibilities into it and give direction to his life. The present article, while explaining the meaning of human being free from Heidegger's point of view, examines the essentials of this freedom and agency, and finally discusses the concept of God in his philosophy.
