TEOLOGI KAPITALISTIK : CATATAN ATAS CARA PANDANG MASYARAKAT MODERN TERHADAP AGAMA
ABSTRACT: As a cultural
movement, globalization has presented the differences that tear do wn the
totality and unity of values and beliefs .Global culture is characterized by
the integration of local culture into the global order. Accordingly ,various foreign cultural values
become the bases of the formation of sub-culture that stands alone with the
freedom of expression. As a cultural movement, it brings the differences that
under mine the totality and the unity of values and religious beliefs. This
climate conduci ve to these different ways of life and then spawns a widespread
individualization process, which turns man away from the general context. This
massive shift can be seen in the so-called “privatization of religion”, the
process of individualization in the appreciation and religious practices.
Revitalization of religion is needed to restore the basic values of religion
that have been secularized. Religion must come back as a legitimate sovereign
social values and piety . This sovereignty of religion should be structured as
a strategy for revitalizing religion in the lives of individuals and social
piety . Thus,religion as a sovereign
authority regulates individual piety personally and socially .However, the
sovereignty of religion should give a wide freedom for individuals to perform
the function of religion in accordance with the present context.
