Religious Migration
Religious migration refers to the movement of individuals or groups from one place to another primarily for religious reasons. This can include seeking a more favorable environment for practicing their faith, escaping persecution, or joining a community of like-minded believers. Examples include the migration of the Pilgrims to America for religious freedom and the movement of Muslims to Mecca for the Hajj pilgrimage.
Such migrations can significantly impact both the migrants and the host communities. They often lead to the establishment of new religious centers, the spread of beliefs, and cultural exchanges. Additionally, religious migration can influence social dynamics, as diverse faiths interact and coexist in new regions.
