在有村廟的社區中，民間宗教強化社區內家庭間的關係，但同時也造成村與村間的界域。過去五十餘年間大量的都市移民，已造成臺灣大多數的人口不再居住於鄉村社區的現象。根據調查及訪談的資料再輔以文獻材料，本文擬討論臺灣的新興佛教團體（慈濟、佛光山、法鼓山、靈鷲山、福智及中台禪寺）不僅提供志同道合者互相認識的機會，從而有形成同修社群的積極效果，如此形成的社群是具有包容性的，對臺灣族群及政治色彩的對立也有中和的效果。

Chinese folk religion played an important role in strengthening ties between families in village temple communities, but in so doing it created boundaries between one temple community and another. Moreover, with the mass migration to urban areas over the past fifty years, the great majority of the population no longer lives in local rural communities. This paper, based on survey and interview data in addition to secondary sources, will argue that Taiwan's new Buddhist groups (Tzu Chi慈濟, Foguangshan佛光山, Fagushan法鼓山, Lingjiushan靈鷲山, Fuzhi福智, and Zhongtai Chansi中台禪寺) not only have a positive effect on community formation by providing venues where like-minded people can get to know each other, the communities created are inclusive, vitiating ethnic/political divisions in Taiwan.
