Religion and Global Modernity, Strayer (pg 740-747)

No only did feminism and liberation change in the becoming  a new world but the sense of religious changed drastically. In many places religion was not a main focus like it was in previous years. Some places religious was based off of scientific approaches known as fundamentalism. Such as Darwin's evolutionary ideas. " At first fundamentalist sought to separate themselves from the secular world in their own churches and schools, but from the 1970s on, they entered the political arena as the "religious rights"" (Strayer, pg741) Previously science was not well established in the world to have such a big impact on the teaching of the worlds, until many scientist and philosophers began to do more research science was the new outlook on everyday life. For instance now we look at the sun as the rising of the day and the setting of the day, since of how the world wakes and seeks. Without this type of scientific background there would be no impact on the way the earth is evolving. This fundamentalist approach influenced the the Islamic religion. People became more religious by participating in mosque, praying on a regular basis and fasting. Everyday life was based on some form of religious preferences. Women began to dress differently in the sign of purity and not showing parts of their bodies.
