Religious innovation: application of alternative terminology in the study of the phenomena of modern religiosity
Keywords:
Modern religiousity, religious modernity, NRM, sect, cult, quasi-religion, religion-like phenomena, fake religions, fictional religions, online religions.Abstract
The article deals with alternative terminology, namely, such a concept as quasi-religion. This concept should be used in modern theological discourse as appropriate and adequate in the study of religion-like phenomena. This alternative terminology is required to replace the established approach that defines all religionlike phenomena as destructive cults and totalitarian sects or as NRMs.
