Preferred term

religious online communities  

Definition(s)

  • For many people, the Internet encourages a search for spiritual connections in a postmodern world—a marketplace of competing voices that can often lead to feelings of isolation and information overload. Online religious communities are interactive online networks of individuals who share a common religious practice or spirituality and unite through specific faith-based discussion topics or activities online.
