What religion has undergone the most reform?
I know at least personally people have different religious beliefs than what is in scripture but what about on a global scale? Are there any cases of a religion going through a reform in the last couple of decades? Century?
>>
The rise of Caodai is interesting, christianity is contantly mutating and mormons are currently slowly shifting into a religion of their own.

Catholics

Mormonism

Islam

Bonus

Jehovahs witnesses
Dont have a source on it but they have changed the nature of their evangilism away from door knocking.

Oh and to answer this

>What religion has undergone the most reform?

Hinduism and all those syncretic eastern belief systems which dont have that ingrained dogma you get in Abrahamic faiths

Salafi movement is just islam recoiling.
At the end of the "golden age" they did a similar shift.
Its like they go through circles of mohammedan durkaisation and more open minded monotheism.

Which country/state are you in? I know that this is certianly the method they are moving towards in Australia.

For the sake of simplicity on the OPs part I was working on reform being change.

ok if im not hairsplitting then you are right, Ill give you that.

Now all the far eastern religions getting adapted in the west and washed out and creating lots of esoteric bullshit may be another example.

Also this:

The chinese will seek to sinifie their rising christian population or other designed religious currents.

Exactly but they are so fragmented its hard to provide the kind of info the OP wants and avoid the schims/reform argument.

>The chinese will seek to sinifie their rising christian population or other designed religious currents.

Given their history with Christianity (a protestant uprising that resulted in 20-30 million deaths) as well as their concerns with Islam I think its more an idea of trying to control religions with political potential. If it was just a nationalist issue then they probably would have left the Fulan Gong alone who have probably coped some of the heaviest repression of any group
