AB - In a digital society, religion is increasingly adapting to the digital environment. Many religions, including Christianity, hold online services and deliver sermons and religious education via the internet. In recent years, AI clergy connected by artificial intelligence have appeared, providing religious education and training through algorithms. Younger generations increasingly recognise the online space as a religious space, a spiritual world, and seek transcendental experiences through mediator such as digital shamans.
This paper will examine some examples of the digital turn of religion in the digital society and propose a process through which traditional religion (offline religion) can be digitised as Heidi Campbell’s RSST (Religious social shaping of technology). Rather than simply describing religion clothed in digital technology, I will propose experiential authenticity, publicness, personhood, and inclusivity as ethical qualities that digital religion should possess. This will spark a relevant debate as there is considerable interest in the digitisation of religion both nationally and internationally, but a lack of adequate ethical reflection and critique.
