Nationalism was closely associated with Particular religious beliefs and afiliations, For example, in the crafting the law is sometimes anchored on the lawmakers’ Christianity In 201, a National Bible Day was declared sa special working holiday. Islam-ruled states in the Middle East, cimilary, are influenced by liberation theology and Is fundamentalism, from private sphere into public life (Cassanova, 1994 is a good example of this, Religion goes beyond the administration of ‘sacraments for Catholics and focuses more on the social concerns of the oor and the oppressed inside and outside the church, anchored on the belief that a supreme being grants violence in the act of >106« Soeton? > The Globalzaton of elon ata ome a central issue faced by their duty to fulfill God's State of aq and Syria (ISIS), 8 Murawi Siege for five months. globalization prompted the increase of individual religiosity nut by the individual's need to rely on his or her beliefs and ‘a reaction based on thers, they just -d the appearance of "religious traditions in places reviously had been largely unknown or considered a idometof, 2014). This is called the deterritortalization of region, Deterttorialization isa cultural feature that blurs the lines between culture and place and thus transcends territorial boundaries.

The West, which is the starting point for the spread of world religions, is now the recipient of a new system of beliefs from the Bast. There is also a rise in the number of believers of Asian rdigions like Zoroastrianism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. On the other end, religion is influenced by global trends and impulses and is forced to respond to newfound situations (Roudometef, 2014) One good exampleis the use of social media asa tool for evangel ‘American Evangelists Joel Scott Osteen and Kirk Thomas Cameron make tse of Facebook and other social media platforms to spread their betiels, Assueh, they made a global and borderless reach, Another example is «all for ecumenism among Christian churches to have closer relationships ‘and better recognition.
