Abstract

Globalization is "the expansion of strange world", the very world which is constituted of dialectics between "subjectivity of actors in near world" and "objectivity of elements coming from distant world". The expansion of strange world will make the elements of familiar world undergo transformation. "Religiosity", as one of the most important elements of familiar world, would not survive such effects. Religiosities in this article are divided by four types: 1- “Method-oriented religiosity” in which methods of achieving religious goals, takes priority over the goals itself. 2- “End-oriented religiosity”, in which the goals are attributed by originality and methods, remain fluid and variable. 3- “Moral-oriented religiosity” in which the believers make their whole living frame-work based on rational and moral codes, and religion, in its conventional meaning, constitutes just a part of the life. 4- “Custom-oriented religiosity” is a less conscious religiosity and more in following the conventional custom. Each religious has its different encounter with the expansion of the strange world which will have four different consequences: Increasing the actor's consciousness; increasing the actor's activation; sharpening of religiosities and creation of substitute religiosities.
