Sacrum w sieci - definicje, podejścia, sposoby badań oraz typologie

Nowadays, it is difficult to clearly separate the online from the offline, as both overlap in many spheres of human activity. The same applies to religion, because online and offline religious spaces are mixed together, with boundaries between the two becoming more and more blurred. The presented essay defines the so-called digital religion and highlights its theoretical approaches. This is used as a background to develop new typologies of what is religious on the Internet and create a coherent conceptual framework allowing for the digital religion to be mapped. Additionally, the essay proposes four levels of digital religion. Theoretical distinctions are illustrated with specific case studies from several areas. Cases described include: 1) religious influencers, 2) online rituals and 3) parodies of religion on the web.
