Introduction
Religion and Globalization, are two complex and interconnected events that shaped
the world in various ways, religion which is defined human beings’ relation to that which
they regard as holy, sacred, absolute, spiritual, divine, or worthy of especial reverence. It is
also 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 or attitudes toward the broader human community or the natural world. In many
religions, texts are deemed to have scriptural status, and people are esteemed to be invested
with spiritual or moral authority. Believers and worshippers participate in and are often
enjoined to perform devotional or contemplative practices such as prayer, meditation, or
particular rituals. Worship, moral conduct, right belief, and participation in religious
institutions are among the constituent elements of the religious life. However, Globalization
on the other hand, refers to a term used to describe how trade and technology have made the
world into a more connected and interdependent place. Globalization also captures in its
scope the economic and social changes that have come about as a result. To add more
information both terms has relationship with each other. Globalization refers to the historical
process by which all the world's people increasingly come to live in a single social unit. It
implicates religion and religions in several ways. From religious or theological perspectives,
globalization calls forth religious response and interpretation. Yet religion and religions have
also played important roles in bringing about and characterizing globalization. Among the
consequences of this implication for religion have been that globalization encourages
religious pluralism. Religions identify themselves in relation to one another, and they become
less rooted in particular places because of Diasporas and transnational ties. Globalization
further provides fertile ground for a variety of noninstitutionalized religious manifestations
and for the development of religion as a political and cultural resource. The twentieth century
saw a gradual convergence of the study of religion with social science academic disciplines.
This new connection had an impact on the study. Popular in the field agendas. Throughout
the majority of the 20th century, secularization theory assumed that the world was gradually
becoming less magical, whereas in the early twenty-first the theory lost favor as the primary
explanatory framework of analysis in the 20th century a number of other viewpoints,
including spirituality and vicarious religion theories - disputed the link between secularism
and modernity. The difficulty of Globalization gradually took hold in order to provide fresh
perspectives that highlighted the scope of which societies in the twenty-first century still find
religion to be important. The encounter with Fundamentalist movements in developing
countries have overturned the prior paradigm. The assumption of previous generations that
the Third World would replicate the Western European experience of secularization.
Currently, globalization competes with secularization and post-secularization theories as the
central explanatory concept in the field. Future trends and directions include the notion of
multiple globalizations of religion, the globalization of secularization and the emergence of
post-secular religiosity.
Discussion
Globalization is a contentious phrase with numerous definitions, all of which have

value. The term "globalization" is typically associated with "homogenizing exports of the
US" like Nike, McDonald's, and MTV. [1]" However, since globalization can be defined as a
process of a "ever more interdependent world"[3] where "political, economic, social, and
cultural relationships are not restricted to territorial boundaries or to state actors,"
globalization has more implications than just the homogenizing exports of the US. Although
not a new phenomenon, the process of globalization has truly made the world a smaller place
in which political, social, and economic events elsewhere affect people anywhere. As a result,
people "search for constant time and space-bounded identities" in a world ever changing by
the day. [7] One such identity is the nation-state. As goods and finance crisscross across the
globe, globalization shifts the cultural makeup of the globe and creates a homogenized
"global culture." Generally, religion is a “system of beliefs and practices.”[8] More
specifically, the word comes from the Latin “religare” which means “to bind together again
that which was once bound but has since been torn apart or broken.”[9] Indeed, with the
globalization of economics and politics, individuals feel insecure “as the life they once led is
being contested and changed at the same time.”[10] Hence, “in order for a person to maintain
a sense of psychological well-being and avoid existential anxiety,”[11] individuals turn to
scripture stories and teachings that provide a vision about how they can be bound to a
“meaningful world,” a world that is quickly changing day-by-day.[12] However, there are
new opportunities and growing difficulties in the relationship between globalization and
religion. On the one hand, religion benefits from communication and transportation
technology while also serving as a haven for those who oppose it.[13] On the other hand,
because globalization makes it possible for daily contact, religion enters a circle of conflict in
which religions become "more self-conscious of themselves as being world religions."[14]
This essay contends that the relationship between religion and globalization is strained. Since
the subject is so broad, this essay is unable to give a thorough analysis of religion and
globalization. However, it does offer a number of examples to Illustrate how the complex
relationship between the two.
Religious Perspectives on Globalization a great many religious commentators
understand globalization as at once a largely economic, imperialistic, and homogenizing
process. They share the economic/mass cultural/political perspective, evaluating globalization
as anywhere from a threatening challenge to the manifestation of evil in our world. In many
respects globalization in this segment of the literature is a successor term for what used to be
censured as the capitalist system or cognate terms. Accordingly, globalization results in
violence and the unjust oppression of the majority of people around the world. It threatens
local and indigenous cultures, imposing a particularly heavy burden on women. It is the chief
cause of global and local environmental degradation, again to the principal detr5iment of the
mass of marginalized humanity. Such theologically inspired positions are not restricted to the
representatives of a particular religious tradition. Thus, for example, Christians, Buddhists,
Muslims, Jews, and those speaking from indigenous traditions all arrive at similar critical
assessments of globalization. And far from being a characteristically religious perspective,
such arguments are quite common in the overall literature, whether recognizably religious or
not. What they imply, among other consequences, is that religion and religious sensibilities
are at root outside of and contrary to globalization, that globalization and religion are
fundamentally incommensurate. Another segment of both the religiously inspired and the
secular literature, while often sharing many of the negative judgments, nonetheless sees a
much closer relation between the two. As noted, these observers almost invariably share the
broader meanings of globalization, especially the dialogical and from below perspectives.
The Case of the Philippines; Religion as an End Product
The Philippines take pleasure in being one of only two largely Christian nations in
Asia, but they have never used this as a justification for thinking themselves better than other
nations or other civilizations. Filipinos are extremely open to accepting new people and do
not tend to reject them. Ilocano, Tagalog, Ilonggo, Waray, and other subcultures, for instance,
are present in the Philippines. "Within these major ethnic groupings, there are still cultural
variations."
Association in the United States?

Like stated earlier, the United States introduced Protestantism to the Philippines, and during
the Americans' journey, they adapted to Philippine religion as well. The Americans brought a
few Catholic practices back with them.
How is it perceived?
According to several commentaries, many view the Philippines as a country that is extremely
religious. It is known to be only "one of two predominantly Christian nations in Asia."
How is it practiced?
Although the belief in immortality and evil spirits were present during the Pre-Colonial
period, Filipinos still believe in several superstitions. "Many women served as spirit mediums
and healers," which was a game changer because, in other cultures, the healers were men.
"Filipino Catholicism is practiced alongside and influenced by precolonial indigenous
religions and indigenous Filipino concepts that are found in other areas of Southeast Asia."
Other Challenges of the Religions
There has always been a lack of spiritual understanding. Materialism, pleasure-

seeking, and selfishness have all been problems for thousands of years. Ecclesiastes 1:8, 9:
"All things toil to weariness... the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear filled with
hearing... there is nothing new under the sun." Assimilation is the phrase used to describe
how people transition from Judaism to a new culture. Even individuals raised in Jewish
homes are unfamiliar with the religion and have diminished adherence due to assimilation,
which is common in wealthy countries like America. Religions aim to combat bad morality
by emphasizing humility, compassion, and service to others. Our Sages advise that learning
Torah and engaging in morally upright activity are the only ways for us to overcome these
difficulties. Judaism works to overcome these obstacles by offering robust educational
programs that instill morals and values, give us a toolkit for enhancing our souls, and direct
our spiritual journey.
