| Summary: | To explain the newer social interest in contemporary religion it must be seen that there is a simultaneity of crisis in traditional churches and a renaissance of religion outside these churches. The thesis is that the new religious movements contribute an explanation for this selective renaissance of religion. This is argued by adducing Max Weber's »Massen- und Virtuosenreligiosität« and combing it with a systemtheoretical approach. In conclusion, we can say that the new religious movements push forward a modernisation of religion, so that religion, becomes structurally more compatible with the circumstances of modern societies. |
