Due to the dissolution of cultural barriers brought about by globalization, religion is forced into a web of

conflicts that enhance social identities. Some individuals reject the new realities and turn to religion in
an effort to reclaim their own identities. People have a sense of belonging in the world because of
religion. As a result of the regular communication that globalization has enabled, religion is now
involved in debates about them because it is one of the major world faiths. Another benefit of
globalization is the emergence of a pluralistic culture in which different but related religions interact. In
connection religious pluralism is that every person has the freedom and safety to practice their religion
as they see fit in a society with a diversity of religious beliefs. This is what is meant by religious plurality.

Greater Religious Tolerance Religions "with overlapping but independent ethics and goals" interact in a
pluralistic culture brought about by globalization. Because people are more connected to the outside
world and this sometimes diminishes their own religious conviction, globalization also has negative
effects on religion by destroying traditional beliefs.

As a result of these religious values, globalization encourages more religious tolerance in areas such as
politics, business, and culture. More precisely, faiths promote the Golden Rule: "What you would not
have done to yourself, do not do to others."

Globalization has produced global political platforms that bring together perspectives that were
formerly perceived as dividing the world—cultural, ethnic, and religious divisions—through a sizable
number of international organizations.
