Name two modern-day RELIGIONS?

Question

I can think of... COMMODITY and... well... I will leave my oppinion to the end of my little poll...

I don't mean KNOW and institutionalized FAITHS (such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam etc...)
but MODERN-DAY religions such as
HUMANISM (man is the center of Universe)
ECOLOGY (environment is more important than the Law or human life)
COMMODITY (or "comfort - a baby's life is more important than the mother's carrier and comfort)
etc...

Answer 1

pastafarinism and IPUism

Answer 2

I would agree that the most mainstream "Western" religion is Capitalism and the religion of I-want-it-all-now! Unfortunately, this modern-day "religion" doesn't re-connect people with God... so (by definition) it is therefore not "religion". (See linguistic roots of "religion" in a dictionary.)

There are many examples of modern-day revelations (and religion), however, that are truly inspired. This day and age is very much a dichotomy of the very good intermingled with the very bad.

You could say humanity has "ripened" and the "wheat" (or really nourishing "grains") and the tares (plants that, for a long time, looked like real wheat, but in the end don't produce any grain) are almost ready for harvest.

Answer 3

in America, the first modern day religion became the mormon LDS church.
another which followed was the Jehovah witnesses and then the seventh day adventists.
When i grew up there was a cult in Oregan that threatened to take over a city because their voting power was more numerous than the town folks, i forget what they were.
but it made national news all around
everything in christianity, is either a branch of the old system or comes from Europe

Answer 4

From your example of Commodity, it seems you want two things people worship, and not necessarily organized religions (such as Christianity and Hinduism). In this veign, I have to say Consumerism and Humanism.

Answer 5

Do you mean relatively new religions? Well, there is scientology invented in the 1950's by a physican, and Mormonism created in the early 1800's.

If you want more traditional religions there is Christianity and Buddism.

Answer 6

Cargo cults are modern in the sense they have been created relatively recently--in the modern era.

Urantia Book readers in that it is a 20th century creation.

Professional sports in that they serve the function of a religion (but of course have roots in very ancient religions-Olympian competitions, etc.)
