Globalization

Globalization has impacted religion in several ways. New technological tools like books, movies, social networks, mobile apps, and specialized websites have allowed religions to spread their messages more efficiently globally. This has enabled even small religious movements to engage in overseas activities. Additionally, secularization and the rise of science have challenged religious beliefs and separated societal relationships from religious institutions in some places. However, religious fundamentalism has also risen worldwide since the 1970s in response to globalization. Overall, globalization has brought people of different faiths closer together while religion and globalization have also at times struggled and conflicted with one another.

• Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief system, and
the world views that establishes symbols that relate
humanity to spirituality and to moral values.

THE MOST KNOWN RELIGIONS ACROSS THE WORLD ARE:

• ISLAM with1.57 milliard adherents. The God is Allah. ( Quran )
• HINDUISM with 811 million adherents. Many Gods.
GLOBALIZATION AND RELIGION GLOBALIZATION

• As the world grows more modern, religions continue to evolve.


Since the beginning of religion, people have been trying to spread
the word of their deity to any agnostic community.

• Take Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, for example – they were


able to expand so extensively and effectively because they relied
heavily on the services of missionaries, as well as the work of pilgrims
and Diasporas.
Religion epitomizes the definition
of globalization due to the fact that it
can be spread more efficiently than
ever before through the use of
different technological tools.

Tools of uniting people all over


the world on religious beliefs:

- Books - Charity Fund


- Movies - Special Internet
- Social Networks Sites
- Mobile Apps - Religious Schools
Religion has entered the “information age” and has
globalized at acceleration rates, in the methods religions use
for teaching and in belief systems.

It is now possible for any religion


to spread beyond national
borders, allowing even small new
religious movements to engage
in overseas activities and leading
to new unseen religious
development.

• Secularization Theory is placed in relationship both of the


religion of reason of the enlightenment and development in
European historiography during the 19th Century.

• With Secularization, religious beliefs cannot compete with


the intellectual credibility of both natural and social
science. Religious beliefs are made relative to one’s private
belief.
• SECULARIZATION is the process by which the society is slowly
transforming from that having close identification with the
religious institution to a more separated relationship.

• SECULARISM began in 1861 when the parishes of Mindanao


originally managed by the Recollect friars were handed to
the Jesuits. The Jesuits were expelled from the Philippines in
1768 because of the conflict between the European
leaders.
PENTECOSTALISM

The term Pentecostal is derived from pentecost. (Greek name for the
Jewish Feast of Weeks.)

IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON RELIGION
