Globalization of
RELIGION
by group no. 7
Peter BERGER
Austrian-born American sociologist
and Protestant theologian.
He argues that there are explosions of
religious fervor occurring in all the
major religious traditions - Christianity,
Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and
Buddhism.
Ayatollah
RUHOLLA KHOMENIE
Iranian political and religious leader.
All secular ideologies were flawed, and
Islamic rule was the superior form of
government because it was spiritual.
King HENRY VIII
King of England from 22 April 1509 until
his death in 1547.
He broke away from Roman
Catholicism and established his own
Chuch to bolster his own power.
Alexis DE TOCQUEVILLE
French aristocrat, diplomat, political
scientist, political philosopher and
historian.
He observes that “religion” exercises a
beneficial “empire over intelligence.”
Almost all Americans believe in or at
least respect Christianity, with the
result that “everything is certain and
fixed in the moral world.
Jose CASSANOVA
He is a sociologist of religion with
research focus on globalization,
religions, and secularization.
He contends that religion is not losing
its importance in modern society and
refutes the notion that secularization is
required for open, tolerant societies.

Christianity and Islam – see globalization as less an

obstacle and more as an opportunity to expand their
reach all over the world.
Globalization has freed communities from the
constraints’ of the nation-state. While Religion seeks to
take the place of these broken 'traditional ties' and help
communities cope with their new situation or organize
them to oppose this major transformation of their lives.
Some Muslims view globalization as a Trojan horse
hiding supporters of Western values.
