Abstract

Religious learning influences and determines the attitudes of its adherents. A religion which primarily teaches to maintain the peaceful and harmonious relationships between people in society sometimes creates intolerance and is used as a justification for the attitude taken. Along with technological advancement and easier internet access, often people in learning religion take a fast path by learning religion through social media. Ironically, it is sometimes not based on the primary reference sources that lead to a misunderstanding. This study aims to see the process of religious learning through social media in interpreting diversity and building social relations. Some individuals learn religion from social media and then apply it in social life. People with an erroneous understanding of religion tend to blame those who have a different opinion from them. From the literature review, it can be found that studying about religion by using only social media sources have given birth to intolerance in social relations among people.
