  1. Religious fundamentalism, individuality, and collective identity: A case study of two student organizations in Iran.Kamran Rabiei, Hamid Ebadollahi Chanzanagh, Hasan Chavoshian & Mohammad Razaghi - 2020 - Critical Research on Religion 8 (1):3-24.
    This study investigates the relationships between religious fundamentalism, collective identity, and individuality. The questions addressed in this research are: Who is joining fundamentalist student organizations? Why and how are they doing so? And, how do these organizations maintain their collective identity in the face of ever-growing individualism? To gain an adequate understanding of the fundamentalist characteristics of such organizations, we first explored the existing theoretical literature. Then, we performed a qualitative case study of two student organizations at the University of (...)

  • Vice Explanations for Conspiracism, Fundamentalism, and Extremism.Rik Peels - forthcoming - Review of Philosophy and Psychology:1-23.
    In the literature on conspiracism, fundamentalism, and extremism, we find so-called vice explanations for the extreme behavior and extreme beliefs that they involve. These are explanations in terms of people’s character traits, like arrogance, vengefulness, closed-mindedness, and dogmatism. However, such vice explanations face the so-called situationist challenge, which argues based on various experiments that either there are no vices or that they are not robust. Behavior and belief, so is the idea, are much better explained by appeal to numerous situational (...)

    After the fall of the communist regime in Romania, in the name of their shared religious faith, a series of religious NGOs from Turkey and other Islamic countries expressed their readiness to support the members of the two communities in their search for their lost religious identity after the religious constraints enforced by the communist regime had been lifted in 1989. The fieldwork undertaken as part of a research project on the two historical Muslim communities in Dobruja, the Turks and (...)

  • Towards the Rationalization of the Sacred for More Veritable Societies.Jerry Chidozie Chukwuokolo - 2011 - Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies 10 (29):87-111.
    Religious fundamentalism has become such a bane in our modern day societies that any serious thinker should consider it necessary to try to find a solution to this malaise of our civilization. This paper argues that the source of these crises is in the misapplication of religion to human society. Accordingly, it argues that unless there is a rationalization of the sacred, there may never be peace for humanity. This stems from the view that religious actors tendentiously manipulate religion to (...)
