==Globalization== The sociology of religion continues to grow throughout the world, attempting to understand the relationship between religion and [[globalization]]. Two older approaches to globalization include [[modernization theory]], a functionalist derivative, and [[world-systems theory]], a Marxist approach. One of the differences between these theories is whether they view [[capitalism]] as positive or problematic. However, both assumed that [[modernization]] and capitalism would diminish the hold of religion. To the contrary, as globalization intensified many different cultures started to look into different religions and incorporate different beliefs into society.<ref name="Davie 2003 19"/> New interpretations emerged that recognize the tensions. For example, according to [[Paul James (academic)|Paul James]] and [[Peter Mandaville]]: <blockquote>Religion and globalization have been intertwined with each other since the early empires attempted to extend their reach across what they perceived to be world-space. Processes of globalization carried religious cosmologies β including traditional conceptions of universalism β to the corners of the world, while these cosmologies legitimated processes of globalization. This dynamic of inter-relation has continued to the present, but with changing and sometimes new and intensifying contradictions.<ref>{{Cite book | year= 2010 | last1= James | first1= Paul | author-link= Paul James (academic) | last2= Mandaville | first2= Peter | title= Globalization and Culture, Vol. 2: Globalizing Religions | url= https://www.academia.edu/4416072 | publisher= Sage Publications | location= London}}</ref> </blockquote>
