This paper analyses the far-reaching resurgence of the religious dimension in the contemporary world, in the framework of the continual development of 'multiple modernities'. It is a part of the story of continual development and formation, constitution and reconstitution of a multiplicity of cultural programs of modernity and of distinctively modern institutional patterns. Contemporary religious movements attempt to completely dissociate Westernisation from modernity. They deny the monopoly or hegemony of Western modernity, and the acceptance of the Western modern cultural program as the epitome of modernity. In the context of these new social movements, the confrontation with the West does not take the form of a search to become incorporated into a hegemonic-predominantly Western-civilisation but rather in attempts to appropriate modernity on their own distinctly modern terms.
