Discuss two aspects describing the process by which religion has undergone globalization. When did religion begin to undergo globalization?

The issue of the importance of religion in transnational migration, in the bringing of institutional religion to new locales. 2. The spread of religious organizations and movements through independent missions. Here, the Christian Church, especially the Roman Catholic Church, has played a central role through its missionaries. Mormons have also been very successful in missionary penetration.
