In 'The Personal God', Ulrich Beck explores the radical transformations facing religions in the 21st century. In a globalized world, religions must coexist with each other and with other cultural creations, adapting to an environment where symbols and beliefs are available to all, but also exposed to fundamentalist and individual manipulation. Beck reflects on the position of the individual, as well as the different religions and atheists, in relation to cosmopolitanism, examining how globalization offers religions the opportunity to transcend their territorial limits and strengthen their transnational dimensions. However, this situation also challenges their monopoly aspirations, forcing them to compete and communicate in the public sphere shaped by the mass media.
