New Religions as Reflaction of the Postsecular State of the Contemporary Ukrainian Society | Chapter 4 | Research Aspects in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 7

 The improving tendencies of postsecularism and worldwide integration under the conditions of the friendly rifts in today’s Ukraine are especially significant in their influence on the almost-religious framework in the transformations of the scrupulous worships in the communities of the existing Ukraine.These very factors deteriorate the modernity basis of the organization, and Ukraine, being in the process of ending the modernity point, occurs in the antagonistic situation of allure intention to complete the modernization process and the leanings of the antiglobalistic isolationism. The neoprotestant education and practices are analyzed in this place article accompanying the assertion of their chief impact on the principles of tolerance and consumerism. Neo-Oriental and new artificial/syncretic religions produce significant influence on extending globalistic views in the Ukrainian society. The marginality traits of the latest religions find the authors’ idea that the values projected by them are a weighty challenge to the stereotypes of the essentialistic dichotomies of the Ukrainian fatherly culture and usual churches. The sociocultural and political framework of globalization and postmodernism includes scrupulous transformations inevitably, and the impact of both on the late commercialism stage has been suitable more and more apparent all over the world. Spreading allure influence in various circumstances and under the conditions, that can seem remarkably different, the idea of globalization and postmodernist drifts makes this process intensely complicated in the nations which are still betwixt modernity and postmodernity.The processes of the label change are in the focus of the reasoning with the stress on the replacement of the rationalistic foundation by almost-scientific plans and teachings in the modern Ukraine. The findings explain thatthe very incompleteness of the novelty processes has led to the expansion of the almost-scientific and almost-religious methods in the social and educational life of Ukraine. In this framework, the erosion of the modernity principles results in spreading neoreligious worships, that began intense at the end of the last of one hundred years. It proves that the globalistic trends promote syncretic and Neo-Oriental religions and cults. The neopagan techniques and practices support antiglobalization evolutions.
