 * I find your article really insightful in the approach of how religion became a discipline, but in your point of view what would be a reason to the emergence of new religions as stated in your last paragraph about the future of the discipline?

Hello! Thank you very much for your very interesting question. I am not sure I understood it well but in my opinion, the emergence of new religious movements (more than new religions in the end) will directly impact the study of religion in the future. Indeed, these movements give rise to new questions: they are facing modern processes such as globalisation or individualisation, their relationship with established religions is an important angle of study and one can question their consequences in society. This derives a little from the subject of my article, but I think it is more relevant to replace the term "new religions" with "new religious movements" in my writing. Thank you very much for your help!--Legrandherbage (discuss • contribs) 14:15, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
