宗教世俗化背景下新兴宗教传播探析——以巴哈伊教为例

A Probe Into the Spread of New Religions Under the Background of Religious Secularization——Taking the Baha'i Religion as an Example

摘要: 新兴宗教信徒人数剧增的原因之一是其在宗教传播进程中采取了与传统宗教截然不同的传播方式。而宗教世俗化概念所表征的宗教“去神圣化”过程为观察这种传播提供了具体的背景。分析以巴哈伊教在社会现代化进程条件下的传播，可以理解新兴宗教在宗教世俗化浪潮中是如何通过独特的传教活动汲取生命力并重构宗教生活的。

Abstract: One of the reasons for the new religious believers sharp increase is that they have adopted a very different mode of transmission from the traditional religion in the process of religious communication. The "de-sacredization" of religion, which is characterized by the secularization of religion, provides a concrete context for observing this transmission. Analysis of the spread of the Baha'i religion in the process of social modernization can understand how the new religions have absorbed vitality and reconstructed religious life through the unique missionary activities in the tide of religious secularization.
