The synergetic impact of capitalist economy and the various theories, from philosophy, science and psychology, made modern man doubtful of his religious way life, which resulted in his religious barrenness. In the pursuit of materialism, people turned blind to the religious mode of life. Spirituality, prayer, sacrifice and worship were alien words to the modern so called enlightened man. This has been evinced artistically by Eliot. He explore the deep recesses and hidden territories of the collective modern mind .He mixed different genres which are far in time and space to portray the spiritual and religious breakdown of the modern world. His poems, The Waste Land, Geronition and The Hollow Men, symbolized the religious barrenness and spiritual vacuity which have alienated modern humanity, from its Creator, God. The paper aims to analyze the religious sterility and spiritual aridity through close textual analysis of these poems.
