History and theory of religions. Ethnicities and religious affiliation (most important)
Directory / Lecture notes, cheat sheets Table of contents (expand) 11. Ethnic groups and religious affiliation As society develops, new religions are formed: Vedism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Islam. New religions possessed books that contained the Revelation of God, transmitted to people through the prophets, as well as the doctrine of God, peace, faith, salvation. The three largest supra-ethnic religions - Buddhism, Christianity and Islam - are usually called world religions. In the Middle Ages, it was the cultural and religious worlds that determined the political map of the world. The geography of supra-ethnic religions coincided with the boundaries of the distribution of religious texts in languages that were or became supra-ethnic and acquired a cult character. The languages in which this or that religious doctrine was first stated or written down, and subsequently canonized, began to be called "prophetic", prophetic. Modern ethnic groups inherited the mental and cultural traditions of their religion, but these traditions were and are predominantly supra-ethnic in nature. Single-ethnic religions (such as Jewish Judaism, Japanese Shinto, or the Armenian-Gregorian Church of Armenia) are quite rare. Usually one religion is practiced by several or many peoples. Exceptional confessional diversity is characteristic of the United States, where 260 churches are registered. In some cultures, one person may practice several religions. For example, in China, depending on the time of year and day, the nature of the religious mood or need, the believer turns to Confucius, then to the practice of Taoism or Buddhism. According to the calculations of Prof. R. Cipriano, in the 90s. The number of followers of the largest religions was as follows: Christians - 1 million, Muslims - 624 million, Hindus - 860 million, Buddhists - 656 million. In Europe and America now there are no states that would define themselves on a confessional basis. Religion is becoming more and more a private matter of a person, just like confessions - associations of believers independent of the state. Therefore, religious affiliation ceases to be an external, formal sign of a certain status of a state or person. In modern times, the processes of state formation are directed mainly by the national, and not by the religious factor. Often, however, even now religion can become the basis for uniting or, on the contrary, separating people. Thus, on the modern map of the world, the settlement of people of various faiths generally corresponds to the historically established geography of religions and does not coincide with the boundaries of languages, ethnic groups and states.
