This term is used for religious movements that deal with the relations between the adherents of a religion and a secular society, but in two diametrically opposed directions.


'''Reconstructionism''' may refer to:
[[Reconstructionist Judaism]] appeared prior to the [[Second World War]], and is commonly regarded as having the same favourable attitude towards modernity as both [[Liberal Judaism]] and [[Reform Judaism]] do, while supposedly being more theologically liberal than either.
*[[Christian Reconstructionism]], a Calvinistic theological-political movement

*[[Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism]], a revival of ancient Greek religion
[[Christian Reconstructionism]] is a relatively recent term, appearing after the social changes of the [[1960s]]. It calls for Christians to seek to pervade all areas of life with their faith, including civil government, and envisions the private and civil enforcement of the general principles of Old Testament and New Testament moral law, resulting in a Christian [[theocracy]].
*[[Polytheistic reconstructionism]], an approach to Neopaganism

*[[Reconstructionist Judaism]], a modern American-based Jewish movement
[[Reconstructionist Paganism]], or alternately, "pagan reconstructionism", is a branch of present-day paganism where emphasis is laid on cultural specificity and scholarly research of ancient sources in order to worship the [[polytheism|gods]] in an authentic and relevant manner. For example, practitioners of [[Hellenismos]] study ancient Greek writings to glean from them how to [[orthopraxy|properly worship]] the Greek gods, as well as integrate belief and ritual into their everyday lives.
*[[Zalmoxianism]], a rebirth of ancient Dacian religion
