TRANSNATIONAL RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON GLOBAL CIVILIZATION

Abstract

Transnational religious movements have increasingly influenced global civilization by shaping cultural identities, ethical norms, political ideologies, and social structures. In an era marked by globalization, religious ideologies have transcended national borders, leading to dynamic interactions between religious traditions and global socio-political systems. This article explores the origins, evolution, and contemporary manifestations of key transnational religious movements, with an emphasis on their sociopolitical, cultural, and civilizational impacts. Through case studies and theoretical insights, it evaluates how these movements contribute to global discourses on justice, morality, governance, and intercultural dialogue. The study reveals that while these movements foster unity and shared values across borders, they also challenge secular institutions and raise questions regarding religious pluralism and global governance.
