SPREAD OF RELIGION:
How did it spread?
Information technologies, transportation means and
the media are deemed important means on which
religionists rely on the dissemination of their religious
ideas.
Furthermore, the media plays the same important role in
the dissemination of religious ideas. In this respect, a lot of
TV channels, radio stations and print media are founded
solely for advocating religions.
Through the use of various media and apps, it is now
possible for any religion to spread beyond national borders,
allowing even small new religious movements to engage in
overseas activities and leading to new unseen religious
developments.

Globalization technologies, therefore, have helped religions

of different forms i.e., fundamentalist, moderate, etc. to cross
geographical boundaries and be present everywhere.
