Religious movements

Religious movements refer to shifts or transformations within established religions or the emergence of new spiritual groups. These movements often arise in response to social, political, or cultural changes and can promote new interpretations of faith, practices, or beliefs. They may focus on reforming existing religious institutions, revitalizing spiritual practices, or addressing contemporary issues such as social justice, environmental concerns, or personal fulfillment. Examples include the Protestant Reformation and the rise of New Age spirituality. Understanding these movements helps us see how religion evolves and interacts with the world around it.
