Globalization and the Phenomenon of Religious
The article studies the problem of the relationship between
globalization and the religious phenomenon in the modern era.
Special attention is paid to the specifics of the conflicts in religious
consciousness under the influence of globalization processes.
Globalization is seen as a complex phenomenon, includes a combination
of many elements of social reality.Open and participatory
modernity allows you to shape religious identity indirectly from
national and cultural component. So, mass forms of religiosity
are transformed into one of the products, broadcast consumer
society. A distinction is made between «formal religiosity» as a kind
of product and personal experience of the sacred, underlying all
spiritual and religious activities. The author explores the trends of
religious formalism and utilitarianism, arising as a consequence of
the transformation of traditional forms of religiosity.
