Modern Religious Movements
Modern religious movements refer to new or reformative spiritual groups that have emerged in recent decades, often in response to contemporary societal changes. These movements can include a variety of beliefs and practices, ranging from new interpretations of traditional religions to entirely new faith systems. Examples include New Age spirituality, Neo-Paganism, and Scientology.
Many of these movements emphasize personal experience, individual spirituality, and community engagement. They often attract followers seeking alternatives to mainstream religions or those looking for a deeper connection to their beliefs. The rise of the internet has also facilitated the spread and organization of these movements, allowing for greater accessibility and interaction among followers.
