    Globalization has contributed significantly to the spread of religion on a global scale. Modern technologies like the internet and transportation improvements have enabled religious groups and individuals across the world to connect and exchange ideas like never before. This has strengthened religious identities and allowed religions to take on more global prominence. However, globalization has also led religions to become more consciously aware of themselves as distinct "world religions" with conflicting beliefs, making hybridization between religions difficult due to their unique internal structures and cultural identities.

    GLOBALIZATION OF RELIGION

    Globalization has played a tremendous role in providing a context for the current revival and the
    resurgence of religion.Today most religions are not relegated to the countries ,where they
    began.Religion spread and scattered on a global scale.
    As scholte(2005) made clear “ACCELERATED GLOBALIZATION ON THE RECENT TIME HAS
    ENABLED CO-RELIGIONISTS ACROSS THE PLANET TO HAVE GREATER DIRECT CONTACT WITH ONE
    ANOTHER,GLOBAL COMMUNICATION,GLOBAL ORGANIZATIONS,GLOBAL FINANCE, AND THE LIKE
    HAVE ALLOWED IDEAS OF THE MUSLIMS AND THE UNIVERSALS CHRISTIAN CHURCH TO BE GIVEN
    CONCRETE SHAPE AS NEVER BEFORE”.
    Information technologies,transportation means, and the media are deemed important
    means on w/c religionists rely on the disseminatio of their religious ideas. For instance ,countless
    websites that provide information about religous have been created.This make pieces of
    information and explanation about different religions ready at the disposal of any person
    regardless of his or her geographical location.In addition the internet allows people to contact
    each other worlwide and therefore hold forums and debates that allows religious ideas to spread.
    Furthermore media also play an important role in the dissemination of religious ideas.In
    this respect , a lot of televesion channels,radio stations,and print media are founded solely for
    advocating ,religious .Modern transportation has also contributed considerably to the emergence
    ,revivalism,and fortification of religion. Turner (2007) cited the case of islamic revivalism in asia
    which “IS RELATED TO THE IMPROVEMENT IN TRANSPORTATION THAT HAS ALLOWED ,MANY
    MUSLIMS TO TRAVEL TO MECCA ,AND RETURN W/ REFORMIST IDEAS ”.Modern technology
    ,therefore,has helped religions of different forms ,such as fundamentalist ,orthodox,or modernist
    to cross geographical boundaries and be presented everywhere.

    Globalization has also allowed religions or faith to gain considerable significance and importance
    as a non territorial touchstone of identity . being a source of identity and pride religions has always
    been promoted by its practitioners so that it could reach the level of globality and embrace by as
    many people as possible

    As Turner (2007) explained


    Globalization transforms the generic “RELIGIONS” into a world system of competing and
    conflicting religious ,this process of institutional specialization has transformed local diverse and
    fragmented cultural practices into recognizable system of religion.Globalization has therefore
    ,had the paradoxical effect of making religions more self-conscious of themselves of being
    “World Religions”

    Such Conflict among the world religions exhibit a solid proof confirming the erosion and the failure
    of hybredization.Globalization “make religions more conscious of themselves as being WORLD
    RELIGION,” Transfroming their respective specific identities .these identities are strenghtened by
    Globalization and cannot intermingle or hybredize,since religions has DISTINCT INTERNAL
    STRUCTURE ,their connection to different culture and their rituals and beliefs, “CONTADICT”.For
    instance ,Islam and christianity are mostly incompatible with each other. These religion cannot be
    hybredized or homogenized,even if they often come into contact.
