A religious movement is an organized effort at religious reform and sometimes involves efforts to change secular aspects of society, including political systems and public policy. Religious movements are as diverse as the world's religions that underlie them. Religious movements may influence international relations primarily through: religiously orientated individuals supporting leaders, policies and organizations that align with their religious beliefs,religious organizations attempting to influence key decision-makers on policy issues that concern their religious beliefs, transnational organizations spreading their movement across borders through recruitment, fundraising, humanitarian aid and even militant actions, supranational religious organizations that have, or basically have, diplomatic-like power to participate directly in international organizations and international relations, intergovernmental religious-based organizations that provide a forum for discussion and unified action for their member states to advance their religious-based agendas. While the world has generally become more secularized, religious movements continue to play an influential role in international relations.
