Odnos sodobnih družb do novih religijskih gibanj

Abstract

V odnosu sodobnih družb do novih religijskih gibanj (NRG), ki so se množično pojavila na Zahodu v drugi polovici 20. stoletja, prevladuje vrsta stereotipovin predsodkov. O diskriminatornem javnem odnosu do NRG priča že sama terminologija, s katero jih označujemo v vsakdanji nestrokovni rabi, saj že sama beseda sekta (ali v angleškem jeziku beseda kult) vsebuje slabšalen pomen. Zato se je v zadnjih desetletjih v znanstvenem preučevanju NRG uveljavil vrednostno nevtralnejši termin nova religijska gibanja, ki pa tudi ni povsem neproblematičen. Avtor na kratko predstavi izjemno raznorodno in kompleksno področje delovanja NRG, prikaže različne teoretske opredelitve tipov verskih skupnosti (cerkev, denominacij, sekt in kultov), v nadaljevanju analizira procese, ki ustvarjajo negativno javno podobo NRG, kot njihova ključna generatorja pa izpostavlja protisektantska gibanja in medije.

Secondary title:	Attitude of modern societies toward new religious movements
Secondary abstract:	Modern societies cultivate a lot of stereotypes and prejudices regarding the new religious movements (NRM), which emerged in the Western countries in the second half of 20th Century. The discriminatory public attitude toward NRM is already seen in terminology, used in everyday laic speech, since the word "cult" has a pejorative tone. For this reason, the scientific analysis of NRM for many years now includes a value neutral term "new religious movements", although there are some problems with it as well. The author shortly introduces extremely heterogeneous and complex field of NRM, presents various theoretical definitions of types of religious communities (churches, denominations, sects, cults), and further analyses processes, which create a negative public image of NRM, and exposes anti-sect movements and mass media as key generators of this negative image.
