People believed that a step towards the modern era was a threat to religion that relied on the Supernatural. This really began throughout the eighteenth century and was present all the way through to the twentieth century. In some extreme cases, religious beliefs and religious practices faced a huge cut. As science became more present in the world and scientific advancements were made, the more people were inclined to believe something plausible and something that was proven with cold hard facts, as opposed to believing a really far fetched story that, nowadays, could not been seen as ever happening.
However, although religion faced a huge decline, throughout this past century, religion has been mounting a comeback and come back more stronger than before.
Buddhist ideas and practices were more than welcome in Western civilizations. Another religion that is regarded as one of the bigger ones is Christianity. It has spread worldwide so much that the majority of Christians no longer reside in neither the United States and Europe. Islam was another religion that underwent a wide expansion.
The biggest opposition of modernization and globalization was fundamentalism. It pretty much accompanies every major religion.
