Sažetak
Accelerated globalization has caused the growth of confessionally based supraterritorial communities. It has given stimulus to transnational religious bonding, particularly such universalist religions, as Christianity and Islam. At the same time the contemporary rise of collective identities rooted in religion has often also been in part a defensive response to globalization. Thus religious revitalization has frequently shaped into a kind of non-territorial cultural protectionism. Contemporary globalization has encouraged religious revivalism in several ways. On the one hand, many of these anti-rationalist strivings can be understood in part as defensive reactions against encroachments by global forces on established cultures. A number of revivalist movements have exploited global relations to advance their causes. Religious revivalism revolted against modern secularism in the context of the clash of civilizations.
