Digital religion
Digital religion is the practice of religion in the digital world, and the academic study of such religious practice.History
In the mid-1990s, "cyber-religion" was a term that arose to describe the interface between religion and virtual reality technologies. Most scholars started documentating how religious groups moved worship online and how the religious ritual were performed. By the first decade of the 21st century, the term "digital religion" became more dominant, and has often been studied in terms of religion's developments in the Web 2.0 world. It has tended to also make a distinction between "religion online" and "online religion". Today, many of its scholars come from the academic fields of media studies, drawing on theories around new media, as well as anthropology and sociology.
