Religionen werden maßgeblich durch ihre Medien geprägt – z. B. Judentum, Christentum und Islam von ihren jeweiligen Alphabeten und dem darauf basierenden Denken. Digitalisierung bedeutet daher auch, dass Kirchen und Religionen immer weniger als unabhängige Akteure erscheinen, sondern als Varianten von "Religion" insgesamt wahrgenommen werden.

But then Warren Jeffs, a new FLDS prophet, escalated the sect’s crimes to near madness.

The Club, which is sponsored by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, bills itself as an after-school program of "Bible study."
