    What is the relationship of religion and globalism?

    -Peter Berger argues that far from being


    secularized, the contemporary world is....
    Furiously religious

    - In most of the world, there are veritable


    explosion of religious fervor, occurring in
    one form of another in all the major
    religious traditions
    What is the relationship of religion and
    globalism?
    -Religions are the foundation of modern
    republics.

    - The late iranian leader Ayatollah


    Khomeini,bragged about the superiority
    of Islamic rule over its secular
    counterpart and pointed out that'there is
    no fundamental distinction among
    constitutional, despotic, dictatorial,
    democratic, and communistic regimes
    Realities

    The relationship between religion and globalism is much more


    complicated.

    The contemporary world is... furiously religious "(Peter Berger).

    Religion are fundamentals of modern republics.


    *Malaysia
    *Iran
    *Indonesia 
    Realities
    Religion as a result of a shift in state policy.
    *Church of England
    *Philippine Independent Church 

    Religion for Against Globalization.


    *There is hardly religious movement today that does not use religion to
    oppose "profane" globalization.
    Realities
    Religious fundamentalism may dislike globalization's materialism, but it
    continues to use "the full range of modern means of communication and
    organization" that is associated with this economic transformation.

    While religion may benefit from the processes of globalization, that does
    not mean that its tensions with globalist ideology will subside.
    Conclusion
    For a phenomenon that "is about everything", it is oddthta globalization is
    seen to have very little to do with religion.

    Globalization is associated with modernization

    Religion being belief system that cannot be empirically proven, is


    therefore, anathema to modernization.
