what's the difference between postmodern and modern religion?

Postmodern religion[1][2] is any type of religion that is influenced by postmodernism and postmodern philosophies.[3][4] Examples of religions that may be interpreted using postmodern philosophy include Postmodern Christianity,[5] Postmodern Neopaganism[citation needed], and Postmodern Buddhism.[6] Postmodern religion is not an attempt to banish religion from the public sphere; rather, it is a philosophical approach to religion that critically considers orthodox assumptions (that may reflect power differences in society rather than universal truths).[7] Postmodern religious systems of thought view realities as plural and subjective and dependent on the individual's worldview. Postmodern interpretations of religion acknowledge and value a multiplicity of diverse interpretations of truth, being and ways of seeing. There is a rejection of sharp distinctions and global or dominant metanarratives in postmodern religion and this reflects one of the core principles[8] of postmodern philosophy. A postmodern interpretation of religion emphasises the key point that religious truth is highly individualistic, subjective and resides within the individual.[9]

"Modern" includes scientific observation to support claims. "Postmodern" precludes such scientific observation, and thus things like "gut feelings" and "that's just the way I think" play a more prominent role.

True Christianity would be considered a modern religion as Christian scientists look for and examine evidence that supports the biblical model. For example, archaeological science has confirmed many biblical places and practices. Also, C14 dating shows that ancient man and dinosaurs lived at the same time, confirming the biblical account (Gen 1:25-26). In contrast, Wicca would be considered a "postmodern" religion as there is no scientific evidence to confirm that casting a spell has any effect, nor is there any desire to use science in making such a confirmation. As long as the adherent "feels" it's right or just likes it, that's good enough.

The only difference is that modern religion has grown to be a much bigger scam than years ago.

Yay! You figured out how to ask this question correctly from a grammatical standpoint.
