I am not a religious person, but I consider myself very spiritual. I feel a connection with people and with the beautiful earth that encompasses us, but not necessarily with an all powerful being that lives in the sky.  Today, religion has become a major topic when it comes to global and domestic politics. To me religion has always been about control and money. In order to increase members and awareness, religions have gone to the internet in search of the new frontier. To the church this is a way to gain more followers and to allow current followers to practice where ever and whenever they can, without having to attend any official mass or ceremony. Elizabeth Drescher’s article: “Five Social Media Trends that are Reshaping Religion”, points out some interesting facts and trends that churches are undertaking in order to enter the age of technology. Drescher holds a PhD in spirituality, and currently teaches at Santa Clara University. Religion on the internet is a double edged sword as I see it. Just like how Facebook revolutionized socializing, it had its good side and bad side. It made people more available, but at the same time impersonal. With religion, it will become available to anyone, anytime; but the personal aspect of religion will be lost. Religions are about community and if people begin praying from their phones, how will one get a sense of their community. People need to go out and physically show their support, not become even more introverted and unsocial.
