Abstract
Günümüz toplumlarının temel özelliklerinden ikisi tüketim toplumu olmaları ve dinin bu toplumlarda güçlenmesidir. Bu makalede ilk olarak tüketim toplumunun ortaya çıkışının kültürel ve entelektüel altyapısı incelendi. Daha sonra, tüketim toplumunun toplumsal yapısı ele alındı. Son olarak, bu çalışmada tüketim toplumunun insanlara sunduğu hedonistik anlayışa, markalar üzerinden üstünlüğe ulaştırma vaadine ve bir sonraki satın alınan mal ile mutlak mutluluğa ulaştırma iddiasına rağmen, dinin günümüzde varlığını sürdürmenin sebepleri ile tüketim toplumu ile din arasındaki etkileşimler incelenmektedir.
