  • Summary

    Religious Talk Online investigated the effects of social media on religious discourse by considering the language use of a small set of religious users and considering what their interaction revealed about the effects of the medium on faith and its presentation. The final chapter brings together the main ideas of the book, arguing that the interaction online has the power to shape the ways in which theology develops. Although many of the ideas presented by the different users in the book are not necessarily new, the ways in which beliefs and faith are argued online has an effect on what issues are focused on. The presence of antagonism in particular and a focus on "debate" has a potential to place emphasis on the way in which something is argued, rather than the validity of particular beliefs.

  • Summary

    This chapter takes a macro perspective on the dataset, looking at the way in which discourse on the different sites offer insights about Muslim, Christian, and atheist discourse more generally. The analysis focuses on the ways in keywords from the different sites can be compared. Keyword analysis reveals difference in register, particularly the use of 'Allah phrases' in Muslim discourse to mark piety and community inclusion. Finally, the chapter considers the ways in which micro-celebrity affects the power of particular users for their audiences and questions the difference between audience and community on YouTube and social network sites more generally.

  • Summary

    This chapter charts the history of interaction between Christians, atheists, and Muslims online. Starting by looking at the Internet as a site of social interaction, it describes how interaction between Christianity and Islam have emerged in online spaces, and how 'conversion' and 'reversion' are understood in both religions. The development of so called 'new atheism' is also presented, particularly as it relates to communities in online spaces. The chapter shows how social networking sites create unique contexts in which users must appeal to a variety of different audiences and argues that there has been an influence of Evangelical Christianity on the ways in which faith is discussed online, with a mixture of focus on faith and evidence as well as personal experiences.
