THE GLOBALIZATION OF

RELIGION
RELIGION VS. GLOBALISM
 Religion has the most difficult relationship
with globalism
RELIGION GLOBALISM
Concerned with sacred Places value on material
wealth
Follows divine Abides by human-made
commandments laws
God, Allah, Yaweh defines How much of human action
and judge human actions in can lead to the highest
moral terms material satisfaction and
subsequent wisdom that
this new status produces
RELIGIOUS PEOPLE VS.
GLOBALIST
RELIGIOUS PEOPLE
They are less concern with wealth
and all that comes along with it
Their main duty is to live a victorious,
sin-less life such that when they die,
they are assured of a place in the
other world
In terms of evangelization, the
religious is concerned with spreading
holy ideas globally
GLOBALIST
They are less worried about whether
they will end up in heaven or hell.
Their skills are more pedestrian as
they aim to seal trade deals, raise the
profits of private enterprises,
improve government revenue
collections, protect the elites from
being excessively taxed by the state,
and naturally enrich themselves
The globalist ideal, on the other hand
is largely focused on the realm of
markets.
RELIGION

 Religions regards identities as inferior and

narrow because they are earthly categories,
on the other hand membership to a religious
group , organization or cult represent a
superior affiliation that connects human
directly to the divine and supernatural
RELIGION

 These philosophical differences explain why

certain groups “flee” their communities and
create impenetrable sanctuaries where they
can practice their religion without meddling
state authorities.
RELIGION

Ex.
Tibet established by Dalai Lama
Buddhist Monasteries
Rizalistas of Mount Banahaw
Essenes during Roman- controlled Judea
Mormons of Utah
