Setting

Up
ACTIVITY
DIRECTION: Analyze the picture and name it
Globalization of Religion
Religion and globalization persistently engage in a flexible
relationship in which the former relies on the latter in order to thrive
and flourish while at the same time challenging its (globalization's)
hybridizing effects. Globalization-due to the advent of communication
and transportation technology and the roles played by the media-has
contributed to the deterritorialization and the blurring of
geographical spaces and boundaries. This has resulted in apparently
in making the world a small village where people, cultures, and
identities come in daily face-to-face contact with each other.

What is Religion
According to Encyclopaedia Britannica (2020), Religion is a human
beings' relation to that which they regard as holy, sacred, absolute,
spiritual, divine, or worthy of especial reverence. It is commonly
regarded as consisting of the way people deal with ultimate concerns
about their lives and their fate after death. In many traditions, this
relation and these concerns are expressed in terms of one's relationship
with or attitude toward gods or spirits; in more humanistic or naturalistic
forms of religion, they are expressed in terms of one's relationship with
attitudes toward the broader human community or the natural world.

world. This religion dominates the
Americas, Europe, and the southern half
of Africa.
•Christians are monotheistic, i.e., they
believe there's only one God, and he
created the heavens and earth. This
divine Godhead consists of three parts:
the father (God himself), the son (Jesus
Christ), and the holy spirit.
•The Christian Bible is a collection of 66
books written in various authors. It's
divided into two parts: The Old Testament
and The New Testament.
Islam

in northern Africa, Middle East, and
Indonesia. Islam is the second-largest
religion in the world after Christianity.

one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is
known as Allah.
•The Quran (or Koran) is the major holy
text of Islam.
Hinduism

behind Christianity and Islam. The
majority of the population in India is
affiliated with this religion.
•Most forms of Hinduism are henotheistic,
which means they worship a single deity,
known as "Brahman," but still recognize
other gods and goddesses. Followers
believe there are multiple paths to
reaching their god.

liberation that can be achieved through
meditation, yoga, and prayer.

Asia and Japan.

•China is the country with the largest
population of atheists and/or agnostics.
• The critique and denial of metaphysical
beliefs in God or spiritual beings.

question whether there is a god or not,
professing to find the questions
unanswered or unanswerable.
