New Religion : What's the New religions during the last 300 years

New religions during the last 300 years

Some think that religion has become past which the spread of religions and religiosity is declining. In the first place, this might be true for a few regions and countries, but the truth is that the numbers of spiritual people are increasing quite others, and therefore the arrangement of spreading new religions will witness a fundamental change in decades.

consistent with the British newspaper, the Guardian, 84% of the world’s population belongs to a spiritual group. Usually, people belonging to the present majority belong to spiritual groups younger than the remainder, and that they reproduce and have children at rates above those that don’t belong to a specific religion. Although, there are many geographical differences, the planet today is becoming more religious.

What does a new religious movement mean?

A new religious movement (NRM), also known as a new religion or alternative spirituality, is a religious or spiritual group that has modern origins and is peripheral to its society’s dominant religious culture.

NRMs can be novel in origin or part of a wider religion, in which case they are distinct from pre-existing denominations. Some NRMs deal with the challenges posed by the modernizing world by embracing individualism, whereas others seek tightly knit collective means.

Scholars have estimated that NRMs now number in the tens of thousands worldwide, with most of their members living in Asia and Africa. Most have only a few members, some have thousands, and a few have more than a million members
