Excellent- More about New Religious Movements and Comparative Religion
New religions share common characteristics with older religions, such as origin myths, views of history, Endtime scenarios, ritual activities, written texts, and sacred objects. This similarity is explained by cognitive processes that underlie religious concepts and practices, which are shaped by modern, Western societies.

This element offers an introduction to several less commonly investigated approaches that draw from the comparative study of religions. New religions introduce origin myths, present unique perspectives on history, and envision Endtime scenarios. Their followers engage in a wide range of ritual practices, producing extensive written collections that are designated as sacred canons. These religions primarily focus on material objects, ranging from sacred buildings to natural elements that are treated in ritualized manners. The underlying reason for this fundamental similarity between older and newer religions is explored in terms of the cognitive processes that underpin religious concepts and practices. A concluding section revisits the issue of how these shared processes manifest in the context of modern, Western societies.
