This paper focuses on the fact that the recent flow of Religious ―Dones‖ is related to the individualization of religion deepening globalization and deepened by it, the distrust of institutional religion, and the increase of anti-religious discourse. And, through Ulrich Beck's insight of cosmopolitanism not imperialistic universalism, or ―peace rather than truth‖ it tries to reconsider on the religion‘s potentialities for peace to overcome the modern distrust and stigma that religion is an obstacle of peace. World religions have the experience and wisdom to acquire a new dimension by accepting and integrating differences and diversity beyond ethnic and national boundaries. However, each religious tradition has been maintained as institutional religion through the boundary between believer and non-believer in the name of truth, so it has a tendency to express conflict rather than coexistence with other religions in a globalized modern society where various religions and cultures face each other. The deepening of globalization and individualization is causing new conflicts between religion and non-religions. Therefore, in contemporary society, which is globalized and personalized, whether world religions can recognize the difference between religion and religion, as well as the difference between religion and non-religion, is the key to religion's potentiality for peace, that is religious cosmopolitanism. It is also a measure of whether religion can answer the questions of this age.
