The technical-scientific-informational environment and religious institutions: relations and possibilities

Abstract

Technological innovations and digital media are increasingly frequent realities in contemporary times. Likewise, religion as a human phenomenon is essentially related to society, since, since ancient civilizations, there have been connections between man and the sacred. With the insertion of the technical-scientific-informational environment in the modern era, communication has become increasingly accessible and religions have found themselves compelled to adapt to this reality, as they work from the perspective of encompassing the collective. Therefore, this article aims to provide a reflection on the religious phenomenon, making use of Milton Santos' theory about the technical-scientific-informational environment, in order to demonstrate how religious institutions use these new panoramas as a way to evangelization.
