Globalisation is a process driven by immensely powerful economic and technological forces. We know that there are both benefits and costs, material and other, resulting from this process, both between and within societies.

The two points made here are: That the relations between globalisation and culture are quite complex. And that religion is a very important aspect of these relations.
