Organizational structures: facilitate contentious collective action

  • Scholars believe that the embedded trust, solidarity, and social capital a religious institution has can be used to launch and mobilize contentious collective action
  • Religious figures have the ability to speak on the doctrine and invoke feelings of unrest in regards to society which creates a link between religion and activism
  • Religious Terrorism is also a way in which religious groups engage in contentious collective action
    • RAND-St. Andrews Chronology of International Terrorism has seen a growth in the number of religious groups that have made their list in the past couple of years
