Globalization affects religious practices and beliefs in several ways. It allows for the spread of major religions' financial resources and beliefs through improved communication and transportation. However, it can also loosen traditional religious strictures through increased social and cultural liberalization. Globalization creates both opportunities and challenges for religion - while it aids in the spread of beliefs, it also brings religions into conflict as they see themselves as world religions. The relationship between religion and global conflict is complex, as religion can both justify and resolve wars, depending on how its core concepts of peace are interpreted and applied.

Explain how globalization affects
religious practices and beliefs?
*Religion is a “system of beliefs and practices.”
*The word comes from the Latin “religare” which means “to
bind together again that which was once bound but has since
been torn apart or broken.”
*Indeed, with the globalization of economics and politics,
individuals feel insecure “as the life they once led is being
contested and changed at the same time.” Hence, “in order for
a person to maintain a sense of psychological well-being and
avoid existential anxiety,” individuals turn to scripture stories
and teachings that provide a vision about how they can be
bound to a “meaningful world,” a world that is quickly
changing day-by-day.
*Globalization affects religious practices and beliefs by conversely, the
movement of the people and information across national borders increases
the rate of social and cultural liberalization resulting in potential loosening of
traditional religious strictures.

*In addition political areas, globalization has built global political forums that
integrate cultural, ethnic, and religious differences—ideologies that were once
perceived as dividing the world—through a large number of international
organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and the World Health
Organization (WHO), as well regional organizations like the European Union
(EU), the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), or the African Union
(AU).and in terms of economics, as the economy of the major countries of the
world has grown, the main religions of each of those countries have also
grown financially, providing more financial resources for religions to spread
their beliefs.
*The relationship between globalization and
religion is one with new possibilities and furthering
challenges. On the one hand, while religion takes
advantage of communication and transportation
technology, it is at the same time the source of
globalization’s greatest resistance by acting as a
haven for those standing in opposition to its power.
On the other hand, because globalization allows
for daily contact, religion enters a circle of conflict
in which religions become “more self-conscious of
themselves as being world religions.
Relationship between religion and global
conflict
• The relationship between religion and peace has often
been framed as to whether religion is a cause or cure
for war. On the one hand, some suggest religion is one
of the greatest justifications for war. Alternatively,
others view religion as a force for resolving war and civil
unrest. The major religions of the world; Buddhism,
Christianity, Hinduism and Islam have concepts of
personal and societal peace at the heart of their
religious discourses. To fully understand the relationship
between religion and peace a more comprehensive
understanding of peace than simply the absence of war
is needed.
