Davos Open Forum 2004 - Religion

Religion: Does Globalization Bring Salvation or Curse?
Some religious communities are very critical of globalization, others are in favour or ask for a "globalization of justice".
1) How do religions judge globalization and deglobalization on the basis of their values?
2) Why and how should the impact of globalization on the poor be measured?
3) Is the global market itself becoming a new "religion"?
