What are the impacts of Globalisation on Religions of world?

Answer 1

Globalization has made regional beliefs also go global. The ideas and belief systems have evolved over time and with the advent of electronic media we can see and hear about various religious groups and sects anywhere in the world.

It is a kind of practical realization of the famous hindu saying "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam". The entire world as a big family.

Am sure globalization shall help towards achieveing this dream where in all are informed and tolerant towards various belief systems and accept them for their god teachings and try and inculcate the good and leave out the unwanted thus creating a global religion of faith, trust, respect and love.

Thanks

Globalization has lead to an increase of multi-religious understanding. Meaning that people know have available to them more than the religion(s) located in their specific region, or at least have knowledge of the beliefs of other religions. This in turn has lead to two polar opposites: some have become increasingly defensive and loudly insist that their religion is still the only true one, while others are embracing pluralism.

I'd say religious pluralism is probably the biggest impact so far. Many people are beginning to believe that truth and salvation can be found in many religions, not just one.

The twenty-first century is witnessing a resurgence and globalization of religion. Around the world, religion has become an increasingly more vital and pervasive force in both personal and public life. Revealing the significance of religion in the contemporary world, Religion and Globalization: World Religions in Historical Perspective explores seven major religious traditions as dynamic, ongoing forces in the lives of individuals and in the collective experience of modern societies.
Written by three highly respected scholars--the authors of World Religions Today, Second Edition--this text covers Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, East Asian Religions, and new religious movements. Taking a fresh approach, it uses historical coverage of the religious traditions as a framework to help students understand how faiths have evolved to the present day and continue to have an impact on belief, politics, and society. The book connects today's religions to their classical beliefs and practices but also shows how they have been transformed by globalization and by their contact with one another. The authors examine how the global changes that began with the Scientific Revolution influence the ways that religions are practiced today. They reflect not only on how ancient traditions have been modified in order to accommodate current realities but also on how the global synergy of these traditions is changing current social and political realities. To help students grasp what might be "new" about the emerging era of religious life in the twenty-first century, each discussion opens with a contemporary scenario of religious experience that illustrates the tension between pre-modern views and modernity.
Ideal for courses on religion and globalization, religion and politics, and comparative religion, Religion and Globalization features sixteen custom maps, key terms at the end of each chapter, a glossary, and timelines of major events in each tradition.

Answer 5

All over the world, religion is popular. This is because we don't really know what kind of a world we are living in. We don't know what will happen to us in the next world. This makes us feel insecure. We are all in the same boat. Some of us like to believe that we are in bigger, better, more buoyant boats. Belief is a wonderful thing as long as it does not encourage ire towards those whose beliefs are different.
