330 .. $a This Element provides an introduction to a number of less frequently explored approaches
based upon the comparative study of religions. New religions convey origin myths,
present their particular views of history, and craft Endtime scenarios. Their members
carry out a vast and diverse array of ritual activities. They produce large corpuses
of written texts and designate a subset of these as a sacrosanct canon. They focus
their attention on material objects that can range from sacred buildings to objects
from the natural world that are treated in ritualized fashion. The reason for this
fundamental similarity between older and newer religions is briefly explored in terms
of the cognitive processes that underlie religious concepts and practices. A final
section returns to the issue of how such shared processes take specific shapes in
the context of modern, Western societies
