Abstract

The main issue discussed in the article examines the reasons that led to the emergence and formation of religious groups in the global world. Today we see that global relations have contributed to the development of some ancient traditions and customs, but also led to their decline. However, how much does globalization affect modern religious trends? In this regard, despite the weakening of religious values ​​due to political pressure, this phenomenon has revived over time, and in the current era of globalization, one can observe the emergence and formation of new religious groups. We can say that fundamentalism is a product of this global society. This is a reaction to the processes of globalization and secularization that are taking place in modern society as a whole. Fundamentalism has also led to a revival of previously forgotten religious institutions. In the very terminology of Islamic fundamentalism, we see that there are various conflicting opinions among scholars. Religious scholars believe that this is a terminology that is common to all religions, although Islamic scholars say it does not make sense because the word comes from Christianity and does not correspond to Islamic teachings. In general, we know that this term has recently begun to be used not only in the religious sphere, but also in the entire social sciences. This article aims to offer an analysis of this term and to analyze the processes of the formation of a new religiosity.
