Abstract


This research work focused on the effect of globalization on religion in the Nigerian society. Globalization is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views such as products, ideas and other aspects of culture. The researchers adopted the primary and secondary sources of data collection as well as participant observation as their methodology. Ti he work discovered that globalization have both positive and negative effects on religion in the Nigerian society. And the work recommended that Christians in Nigeria should be taught the principle of selective acceptance, which should enable them not to accept all ideas they are exposed to but to know that it is only those ideas and values which are useful for healthy living that they should accept.
