Will we see a resurgence of fundamentalism now that liberalism and leftism are somewhat dying.
Similar to what happened to Iran, could it occur in western countries?
Will religion necessarily be tied to fascism ? Can there be a religious clerical order government that isn't necessarily fascist. Do you believe that on a long enough timeline, religion tends to survive and overcome other ideologies simply because it thrives on social misery and societal collapse?

Yes i think Eastern Europe will be overtaken by whatever the Orthodox equivalent of Iranian mullahs are especially as liberalism starts to collapse and geopolitical rivalry intensifies between the Russian block and the NATO block. Since both factions are generally of the same ethnicity religious hatred will be restored as a guiding enemy vs friend distinction.
Africa is also a serious hotspot for religious fundamentalism. Since increasing competition for resources between empires there coupled with impoverishment and urbanization breaking up other forms of identity meaning religious and ethnic wars will dominate Africa's future.
For the rest of the world not really. People might become more conservative but absent geopolitical benefits religious sectarianism simply isn't profitable to uphold because it will detonate your country from the inside. I suspect the wave of Islamophobia happening in India for example to just run its course by 2030

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/aug/27/religion-why-is-faith-growing-and-what-happens-next

The median age of the global population is 28. Two religions have a median age below that: Muslims (23) and Hindus (26). Other main religions have an older median age: Christians, 30; Buddhists, 34 and Jews, 36. The religiously unaffiliated come in at 34.

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world – more than twice as fast as the overall global population. Between 2015 and 2060, the world’s inhabitants are expected to increase by 32%, but the Muslim population is forecast to grow by 70%. And even though Christians will also outgrow the general population over that period, with an increase of 34% forecast mainly thanks to population growth in sub-Saharan Africa, Christianity is likely to lose its top spot in the world religion league table to Islam by the middle of this century.

Hindus are set to grow by 27%, and Jews by 15% mainly because of the high birth rate among the ultra-Orthodox. The religiously unaffiliated will see a 3% increase. But proportionately, these religious groupings will be smaller than now because their growth is lower than the increase in the overall global population. And Buddhists are forecast to see a 7% drop in their numbers.

It’s mainly down to births and deaths, rather than religious conversion. Muslim women have an average of 2.9 children, significantly above the average of all non-Muslims at 2.2. And while Christian women have an overall birth rate of 2.6, it’s lower in Europe where Christian deaths outnumbered births by nearly 6 million between 2010 and 2015. In recent years, Christians have had a disproportionately large share of the world’s deaths (37%).

And while the religiously unaffiliated currently make up 16% of the global population, only about 10% of the world’s newborns were born to religiously unaffiliated mothers between 2010 and 2015.

TLDR: Religion in the third world is still common but as westernisation and the internet spread their influence I predict that many people will lose their religion in adulthood. As seen in this article the average age of nonreligious people worldwide is 34.

I hate people who buy into the language of the most hardcore clericals and traditionalists about the word secular.
If people understood the true meaning of that term secular, they'd realize how outlandish this complaint about things of secular or temporal or mundane nature is.
Originally, secular simply meant the things and places of this World temporarily and as of now as opposed to Heaven or the Clergy. That means every country in this world is technically a secular entity – this isn't Heaven or the Church – all secular professions were those outside of the clergy and every other building besides the cathedrals and churches, secular considered everything that was political or tied to this world (including kings and lay people).
So to complain about things being secular is ridiculous, first off the majority of the population consists of lay people, secondly the nature of secular includes everything temporarily, and in reference to the religion the estate of the clergy itself. The nature of all these things are secular, what is being prompted asked is how much people are willing to give Church predominance over everything and how much they will sacrifice their lives for Heaven.
But what people argue about is mostly secular issues: esp. the rightwing is all about carnal and mundane things like their race, nationalism, the state of the economy, heritage, the preservation of their countries – things of this world and not about getting to Heaven.
People are confused because they confound secular with secularism (the idea of religious tolerance or abstaining from). It is true, that secular and secularism are interrelated terms, but they're also profoundly different. When we talk about the secular, we simply talk about everything in this worldly plane and all the places and countries in the world – because the secular accounts for everything of this worldly inheritance and temporal happiness, whereas the ecclesiastical is about the Clergy and Heaven.

This anon is correct when it comes to the OP topic. Most statistics on this are skewed by the definitions of "religiosity" and by not including a "spiritual but not religious" category. What we're actually seeing is the collapse of institutionalised religion where the Abrahamic world is starting to resemble places east of the Indus and south of the Sahara, where mish-mash, non-discrete and syncretic folk spiritual beliefs dominate.

 No.1817673

In Europa? No. In the US, it was never gone, although the new religious right are all MAGA, and not compareable to the religious necons of the Bush era.

In China, South Korea and Japan there are some esoteric cults operating with high numbers, but I don't they will come to power, maybe in Japan.

There are some evenglical cults around Bolsonaro types, but most Christian movements in Latin America were largely left-wing.

In Israel, maybe, but it's mostly racism rather than religious zealotry. Super religious Jews do not like the Zionist state.

Arab world, it's a mess but of the relgious sectarianism was based on Western steering and wheeling their proxies, no matter their association.

Africa, no fucking clue. I think American type Evangelicals have gained some influence there.

Fareed Zakaria talking about secularism in America and the religious revival quality that Trump rallies have taken this year. I think he's fairly smart as far as American T.V. talk show hosts go.

My take: urbanization, modernization, and improvements in technology is the material basis for the weakening of religion, and in response, Evangelical Christians came to re-theologize essentially secular concepts (politics) which was successful as a short-term political strategy in alliance with the Republican Party, but which paradoxically contributed to the hollowing out of religion's spirit and mystery. Part of this also explains why Christians who are even more ultra-conservative have been converting to Latin Mass traditional Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy – essentially a reaction to Evangelicalism hollowing itself out of substance and morality and becoming a more or less secular vehicle for "vulgar" politics (but I've got bad news if they think the Eastern Orthodox Church isn't disgustingly corrupt). The house is collapsing in on them, in other words, but bereft of any ideas about how to build a new one, they've opted to try and find their way back into an even older one.

>>1817506
>Religion has just as much political power in those eras if not more. We're literally commiting a genocide in the middle east because of a bunch of khazar converts
Well, again, re-theologization of essentially secular, man-made concepts like the nation-state. What's interesting is that there are parallels at the same time in Israel as there has been in the U.S. and in Islamic countries with the decline of secular nationalists for religious organizations like Hamas. I think it's also interesting to contrast that to the Jewish equivalent of "old believers" in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods of Jerusalem who try to live like their ancestors in 19th century Lithuania, don't use the internet, don't serve in the army, and have a difficult relationship with the state and Zionism as a political project. Then the Israeli state needs these people's sons to serve in the army, so the state starts to theologize itself more in a kind of synthesis, but nevertheless many in the ultra-Orthodox community see this as a threat.

>>1817530
>Anon, secular countries are undergoing demographic collapse kek
Urbanization leads to both secularism and falling birth rates. I think there's a way to reverse it but it would take some "de-urbanization," but which necessarily has to involve investment and economic development of rural areas and smaller cities to slow down the huge metropolises from sucking up the population. (I actually suspect China has been trying to do something like this.)

>>1817714
<they are fighting satanic forces
>They genuinely are tho
Patriarch Kirill recently declared that pacifism is a heresy. Jesus Christ reportedly returned and landed in Moscow and was immediately executed. Also an old joke: a prole walks into an Orthodox church and tells the priest that God spoke to him. The priest says, "God? In Russia? Don't be ridiculous." I think it can be reasonably said that Putin is a true-believing Orthodox Christian though (a thief and a criminal).

 No.1817741

Part of this too is, like, what actually is religion? Or what's the purpose of it? Really all this stuff is made up by people and can't be separated from politics and the world. People created God, not the other way around. There's no God other than what exists in people's minds, and while the theology is ultimately nonsense, the social organization it attaches itself to is not (a lot of atheists, particularly the Reddit kind, don't take this part seriously, because many of them are not materialists). It's a mix of philosophy, food, a way of life in other words. What religion is famous for is holding some invalid self-evidence as constant, such as “God/Allah is perfect and the Bible/Quran is true," to form a self-consistent logic loop, such as "because the Quran is true/Allah said this… women should dress like ancient Arabs and eat no pork" as if that has nothing to do with the geographical influences of living in a desert (veils help lower body temperature by protecting against sunlight, heat, and dust) or inheriting backward technology when it comes to productivity (tip: if you castrate male pigs then you remove the boar taint that makes pork edible).

Which is why you tend to see more religiosity in rural areas where church/mosque/temple fills a social function, and why the Amish or ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities avoid technology and modernization. To go back to Evangelicalism in the U.S., there's a long trend of Christianity mixing with American nationalism and right-wing politics and mystifying it as if what politicians say carry holy writ. Hence the Trump Bible™, where the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance are included in the Bible alongside portraits of Trump who can't cite a line of scripture. This creates dissonance, but they've found a way around this: Trump is like King Cyrus, a divinely appointed Pagan hero, flawed, but divinely mandated and whose words have prophetic merit. Therefore, Trump losing the election is equivalent to foiling God's plan. Which is why we need to be ready to "fight," lest Providence is thwarted. But don't worry… because Judgement Day is right around the corner, and you can rest assured that you'll be fast-tracked to Heaven – no fear at all no matter what you do.

BTW: Clip from an Israeli movie about a guy who opens a technology store in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood and becomes a target by Jewish fundamentalists.

>trump cant cite scripture
I think whats interesting though is that like you say, he is the most christian leader whilst objectively being faithless. But this is like the pharisees vs jesus. The pharisees were scripture nerds who killed anyone who broke the rules, but jesus as the free spirit of god showed how law does not refer to law, but its own exception
Think for example of the starving child stealing bread - the law's exception here is the true law.
So trump's unchristian attitude shows what christianity is in its own constitutive and spontaneous meaning - nationalism and whatnot. Thats why when muslims complain about the west it makes sense they dont just talk about "white people", but the culture of christianity itself

The rise of e-Catholics is intertwined with things like, the search for the 'natural and human' diet, sleep schedule, etc. Like have you noticed how popular it is now, to justify lifestyle theories by saying 'this is what humans are nautrally geared towards'?

People have begun turning to religious fundamentalism and related practices (e.g. semen retention) because under capitalism, we are all always compelled to do things we do not want to do. Alienated from our labor and the means of production, we can sense that the compulsion to work is a foreign impulse planted in us. People are trying to replace this alienated impulse with something from within. Whether that is a spiritual adherence to the tendencies of 'human nature' (something we are constantly researching, redefining, and discovering), or to a religious order that just feels human and natural.

I support religious fundamentalism. We need to accelerate. We need to tear down all the traditions of bourgeois order. All that's solid must be dissolved, deterritorialized, reterritorialized. Religious fundamentalism is a symptom of the fraying of the hypermodern (neo)liberal world system. It is helping destroy and shatter that system and challenge its ontological and epistemic foundations. Watch as our great American empire pursues the forever globewar against Islam. Intensifying the diffusion of new weapon technologies and the dynamics of economic disintegration and retooling. Remember Mao's dictum, when there is chaos under heaven the situation is favorable. In the words of Nietzsche, peace and friendship with Islam and death to systemic Christianity and modern nihilism which are thoroughly bourgeois.

Idealism. Islamist groups have different ideologies, different allegiances, some are useful to our cause some aren't. Simple. But you can't deny the amazing success Islamic groups have had in causing havoc for the US of A. This begs further analysis and study. We need to research and dialogue with these people more. We shouldn't be like the retarded Mexican leftoids who turned their noses at Zapata only to end up getting killed off by federales. Religious fundamentalism is an opportunity and potential ally.

>Islam has barely changed
Most delusional thing posted in the thread. Islam, it's practice and culture changed so much between it's inception, golden age and now it's basically a different religion entirely.

This is blatantly not true btw even in MENA. You have all these intense and very lively debates about transgenderism, slavery, child marriage, war, banking system, etc. Only an orientalist or a fundamentalist thinks that a religion never changed.

If you are old enough to remember they were Japan bashing in the 90s too. So what? What does the fact that they hate China have to do with religious fundamentalism? How does it invalidate anything I've said. China is a country. Radical Islam is a political force inflicting defeats on the world's largest global empire. That's the important fact to underline here.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with those sorts of things, but then there's always some more extreme thing that justifies itself with some fringe anthropological theory, like humans being adapted to only eat raw meat like >>1817964 mentioned, and the ever more ridiculous grifts churned out by health influencers online like picrel.

My point is that under capitalism, people become obsessed with discovering what compulsions or 'ways' come naturally to humans in the hope of replacing the alien compulsions forced upon them.

Well I don't think it does a whole lot to solve the real problem. Eating better or sleeping more can treat some of the symptoms of having a job, but nothing is going to make you feel less alienated from your labor. Nothing is actually going to make having a corporate job less bad, and I think a lot of people who occupy themselves with treating the symptoms still won't even entertain the idea that the entire world-system they inhabit might be evil and wrong.

you fucking what ? no. In fact radical islam is very useful to the empire as proven by their very long history of collaboration.
The defeats you could associate with "radical islam" are a lot more about national liberation and anti imperialist struggle.
On the other hand, china is inflicting very real defeats to the empire through their economic policies of real global development and alternatives to the west order.
