Summary/Abstract: Perhaps what characterizes the world of the 21st century is undoubtedly the dynamic of transformation. All social planes are in this process of transformation dictated by new technologies, global economic networks, migration. Religion is no exception to this reconfiguration of the world, which is certainly happening at a very fast pace. The local is situated in a global perspective, with religions feeling close to each other, which is leading to a serious rethinking of doctrinal, cultural and social boundaries. This is why the word most commonly used today is diversity. Religions interact in a much more articulated relational way, with particular traditions being moved and implanted in new spaces through the agency of their followers. But this interlinking of religious identities also has negative effects expressed in conflicts, restrictions and religious persecution generated by exclusivist attitudes. The present study intends to explore the motivations and frameworks of religious persecution.
