520 |a The position of this essay is that the self and strands of existence are ori-ented in religious essence and impulse and, that these function as the plat-form for constructing and shaping worldviews. So, identity change in reli-gion affects man and his fundamental being - giving the individual new sense of life meaning, such as enlarging and or shrinking the self against the backdrop of new found belief systems and practices. The belief is that such change has the potency of assuaging the human crisis of meaning and the ambivalent changes in society. Against the backdrop of Nigeria’s expe-rience, the paper further identifies the forces of identity and religious change as mainly catalyzed by secularization and modernization indices, migration, psychological fulfillment of the self, doctrinal conflict, social status identity, ethno religious identity and search for other personal motives.
