A definition of religion—ascribed to Wilfred Cantwell Smith—states that religion is ‘something more’ or something beyond, as being “a participant in a religious movement is to recognize that that movement points to something or Someone beyond itself.” Having taken religious symbols “from their fathers” the participants set out to find their meanings on their own. Thus, the movement may also be a metaphor for religion as a process—a religious transformation. In this panel, we would like to focus on that change(s), be it pertinent to the mundane or the sacred. With the aim of creating a holistic trans- and interdisciplinary platform for inspiring discussion on religious transformation(s) and the possibility of bridging the gap between insider/outsider perspectives we welcome researchers representing a variety of disciplines, including archaeology, history, anthropology, linguistics, digital humanities, and cognitive or social sciences, conducting both theoretical analyses and empirical studies in qualitative, quantitative, or mixed approaches related to the following problems: Can everyday religious experience change over time? What changes are triggered by religion/religious experience? How do they occur and what motivates them? How do they interact with religious canon, and when can they become canon themselves? What is the meaning of religious experience in games, fantasy, and invented religions? How does religion/religious experience interplay with these media?
