Postmodern religion
Postmodern religion〔Powell, Jim (1998). ''Postmodernism For Beginners''. ISBN 978-1-934389-09-6〕〔"Postmodernism". Encyclopedia of Science and Religion. Ed. Ray Abruzzi and Michael J. McGandy. Macmillan-Thomson Gale, 2003. (eNotes.com ). 2006. 27 Dec, 2010〕 is any type of religion that is influenced by postmodernism and postmodern philosophies.〔Patton, K.; Ray, B. (2008). ''A Magic Still Dwells: Comparative Religion in the Postmodern Age''. University of California Press, Berkeley - "a postmodern study of religion" p199〕 Examples of religions that may be interpreted using postmodern philosophy include Postmodern Christianity,〔Oxford University Press - Journals - Aaron Stuvland http://jcs.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2010/08/12/jcs.csq055.extract〕 Postmodern Neopaganism, and Postmodern Buddhism.〔On Deconstructing Life-Worlds: Buddhism, Christianity, Culture (Atlanta: Scholars Press of American Academy of Religion, 1997; Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000; ISBN 0-7885-0295-6, cloth, ISBN 0-7885-0296-4, pbk〕 Postmodern religion is not an attempt to banish religion from the public sphere; rather, it is a philosophical approach to religion that critically considers orthodox assumptions (that may reflect power differences in society rather than universal truths).〔Clarke, Peter (2009). ''The Oxford Handbook of the sociology of religion''. Oxford University Press. Page 306.〕 Postmodern religious systems of thought view realities as plural and subjective and dependent on the individual's worldview. Postmodern interpretations of religion acknowledge and value a multiplicity of diverse interpretations of truth, being and ways of seeing. There is a rejection of sharp distinctions and global or dominant metanarratives in postmodern religion and this reflects one of the core principles〔Lévi-Strauss, Claude. ''Structural Anthropology''. Trans. Claire Jacobson and Brooke Grundfest Schoepf (First published New York: Basic Books, 1963; New York: Anchor Books Ed., 1967), 324.〕 of postmodern philosophy. A postmodern interpretation of religion emphasises the key point that religious truth is highly individualistic, subjective and resides within the individual.〔Eve, Raymond. "Wiccans vs. Creationists: An Empirical Study of How Two Systems of Belief Differ". The University of Texas. ()〕
==Eclecticism and non-dogmatic theology==
According to postmodern philosophy, society is in a state of constant change. There is no absolute version of reality, no absolute truths. Postmodern religion strengthens the perspective of the individual and weakens the strength of institutions and religions that deal with objective realities. Postmodern religion considers that there are no universal religious truths or laws, rather, reality is shaped by social, historical and cultural contexts according to the individual, place and or time. Individuals may seek to draw eclectically on diverse religious beliefs, practices and rituals in order to incorporate these into their own religious world view.
In Japan, Shinto and Buddhist ideas are woven together and co-exist. Some people who practice Buddhism may be syncretic in their approach. Syncretism occurs among the Eastern religions.〔BBC Religions: Postmodernism http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/atheism/types/postmodernism.shtml〕 Similarly, versions of Hinduism〔Hatcher, B. (1999). ''Eclecticism and Modern Hindu Discourse''. Oxford University Press USA.〕 and Neopaganism〔Lewis, James (1996). ''Magic religion and Modern Witchcraft''. New York University Press. Page 46: "While pre-modern themes form the foundation for this movement it is the manner that such themes are reworked to be appropriate in the contemporary context that form the greatest relevance to the significance of Witchcraft as a postmodern form of spirituality".〕 may also be interpreted from a postmodern perspective. A postmodern religion can be non-dogmatic, syncretic, and eclectic: in drawing from various faiths and traditions, it challenges the notion of absolute truths.
