'Aufgrund der vielen Angebote an religiösen und weltanschaulichen Gruppen und Ideen ist auch in Österreich die religiöse Landschaft immer unübersichtlicher geworden. Die Grundlage für diesen Artikel bilden die Erfahrungen katholischer Weltanschauungsreferenten. Sie bieten einen Überblick über diesen 'Markt der Religionen'. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die beiden Strömungen Fundamentalismus und Esoterik wesentlich sind und sich in vielen Angeboten finden. Der Artikel kommt zum Ergebnis, dass diese beiden Strömungen ihre Bedeutung behalten werden und dass aufgrund des zunehmenden Individualismus die Zahl der religiösen und weltanschaulichen Gruppen weiter steigen wird.'

'Austria's religious landscape increasingly diversified, underscored by a growing number of offers from religious groups and ideas. The article is based at the authors' experience as Catholic cult experts. They provide an overview of this 'market of religions', demonstrating that the currents of fundamentalism and esotericism (New Age) can be found in many of these offers. Conclusions are presented that these two currents continue to be important and, because of growing individualism, will even contribute to a rising number of religious groups.'
