The Globalization of Religion and the World's Major Religions
- Religion is a set of attitudes, beliefs, and practices relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity.
- Globalization affects religions in several ways, including religious pluralism, diasporas, and the development of religion as a political and cultural resource.
- The modernist perspective suggests that all secularizations would eventually look alike, and different religions would end up as the same worldly and rational philosophy.
- The post-modernist perspective emphasizes expressive individualism and predicts the disappearance of traditional religions.
- The pre-modernist perspective suggests that each religion has secularized in its own distinctive way, resulting in its own distinctive secular outcome.
- World religions are the five largest and most internationally widespread religious movements: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
- Christianity is the largest of the world's religions, with more than two billion believers and three major groups: the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox churches, and Protestant churches.
- Islam is a major world religion promulgated by the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century CE, characterized by the belief in one God and the surrender to Allah's will.
- The Five Pillars of Islam include the profession of faith, prayer, alms tax, fasting, and pilgrimage to Mecca.
- Judaism is a monotheistic religion developed among the ancient Hebrews, characterized by the belief in one transcendent God who revealed himself to the Jewish prophets and a religious life in accordance with Scriptures and rabbinic traditions.
- The "Big Five" religions are often listed in an "Abrahamocentric order," placing the largest three Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) before the non-Abrahamic religions (Hinduism and Buddhism).
- Religion is a personal and institutionalized set of attitudes, beliefs, and practices that express people's relationship with the holy, sacred, divine, or worthy of especial reverence and deal with ultimate concerns about their lives and fate after death.
