• Sommario/riassunto: This article is a partial response to the problems of the theorizing of religion and globalization that have arisen in recent studies about the subject. I am seeking to open the discussion about the theorizing of religion in the Global Age through the development of a typological analysis centered on the different religious positions in the Global Age. I will expose the four major religious positions that are an integral part of the Global Age, in the following order : intransigent, conservative, pluralist and relativist. In each case, I will make a brief description of the positions, followed by empirical reflections on them. The object of this research is to develop an operationalizable tool of analysis of religion in the context of the diverse globalization processes.
