The internet played a crucial role for many Americans during the 2004 elections, according to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life project .

the online political news consumer population grew dramatically from 18% of the U.S. population in 2000 to 29% in 2004. There was also a striking increase in the number who cited the internet as one of their primary sources of news about the presidential campaign: 11% of registered voters said the internet was a primary source of political news in 2000 and 18% said that in 2004.

The number of Americans with highspeed internet access has grown over the past year, with roughly half of adults having such connectivity, according to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life project .

Finding include:

55% of all adult Internet users – or 34% of all adult Americans – have access to high-speed Internet connections either at home or on the job. 39% of adult Internet users – or 24% of all adult Americans – have high-speed access at home, an increase of 60% since March 2003. ... For the first time, more than half (52%) of a key demographic group – college educated people age 35 and younger – has broadband connections at home. Only 10% of rural Americans go online from home with high-speed connections, about one-third the rate for non-rural Americans.

Highspeed connections are available at both home and work .

Redemption and the Power of Man. In Christianity, redemption is essentially an act of divine grace, the salvation of a sinful humanity that is incapable of saving itself. In Judaism redemption depends entirely on man, who is responsible for his own fate. To what extent did Judaism influence the development of progressive, pluralistic democracy?

Yoism is a made-up "open source" religion that replaces God with an impersonal Divine Mystery that seems to be loosely defined as "The Stuff that Is and the Scientifical Laws It Follows," so that the proof of Yo's existence consists of saying that the universe exists. Yoism pledges to build Heaven on Earth, and, best of all, without self sacrifice! I'm confident Yoism is built on the best of intentions. I'm just having trouble getting past the unintentional self-parody. I guess that makes me a small person. Thanks to Ross Knights for the link....

This issue of Topic in Depth explores the relationship between technology and religion in today's world. This first website, from PBS, features interviews with "a skeptic, a devout Muslim scientist, and an expert in the sociology of religion" who address the question, Can Religion Withstand Technology? (1). This blog from the Institute for the Future discusses how religion is making use of technology (2). One way that religion and technology interact, of course, is through the use of the Internet in communicating religious ideas, as is evidenced by this collection of websites listed on cybertheology (3 ), which also offers a number of articles on theology and technology. This next website from researcher at the University of Maryland (4) is "dedicated to illustrations of the trends to refer to and use metaphors from technology in conveying fundamental ideas in theology" and presents some of the data collected so far as part of this research project. In this article from TechNewsWorld (5), an associate deputy of interfaith relations for the Episcopal Church discusses his views on "the future of religion and technology -- and what he views as their joint role in the survival of humanity." Wired offers this perspective on how technology has impacted Islamic traditions (6). W. Kent Fuchs, Dean of Cornell University's College of Engineering, discusses the ways that religion and technology can help each other in this short article (7 ). Finally, this website (8) offers a large selection of articles specifically addressing Faith and Science from the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science & Technology.

Low Power FM Religion Radio

Low Power FM Religion Radio 04/06/2005 11:57 AM
Religion radio co-opts low power FM. Remember the fight over low power FM? It was supposed to help establish community radio stations. It seems that some Christian broadcasting stations have been snapping up low power FM licenses to implement translators, which extend the broadcast area of their main signal. Some groups have been speaking out about this, yet the FCC only acted after it appeared that some of the licenses were being obtained fraudulently for resale. (via Jorn)

Gimme that New-Time Religion

Gimme that New-Time Religion 07/27/2004 06:10 AM
By Dale Short (Birmingham Weekly) Posted with permission. It may be no coincidence that every explosion we see in an action movie nowadays looks the same. Destruction is no longer a loud bang and a flash of light; it's become a stylized slow-motion ballet of jagged fragments that tumble and ricochet outward from the explosion's exact center toward the viewer and beyond, an artists perspective-drawing turned nightmare. The destroyed object is no more, this surreal display seems to tell us, but the ramifications of the blast have only begun. Its chain of events reaches further into the future than we can imagine, consequences as relentless as they are unforeseeable, but already stirring in us some primal memory of doom.

Karl Marx On Religion

Karl Marx On Religion 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
Perhaps Karl Marx's best known quotation is his description of religion as "the opiate of the masses." This quote is often misrepresented by those ideologically opposed to Marx as though Marx were advocating immediate and total obliteration of all religions. On the contrary, Marx viewed religion as the sole solace, often, of the oppressed proletarian classes. He would not have dreamed of tearing this away, their only consolation in life. Lutheranism was the prescribed Prussian state religion, and career advancement for non-Lutherans and especially Jews was difficult to impossible. But for Marx, religion in general was merely a symptom of a much larger issue -- the fundamentally predatorial economic relationship between the bourgeois class and the proletariat -- rather than religion being a fundamental problem in itself. As Napoleon put it, "Religion is great stuff for keeping the poor from murdering the rich."

For those whose minds are shaped by science and technology, the universe is fundamentally knowable. Faith dissolves, replaced by a sense of wonder at the complexity of creation.What do you think of this?

Americans increasing use of internet for
religion

Americans increasing use of internet for
religion 04/09/2004 04:01 PM

Americans are increasingly using the internet for religious purposes, according to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project .

The study's findings include:

64% of the nation’s 128 million Internet users have done things online that relate to religious or spiritual matters. ...
Those who use the Internet for religious or spiritual purposes are more likely to be women, white, middle aged, college educated, and relatively well-to-do...
The “online faithful” are devout and they use the Internet for personal spiritual matters more than for traditional religious functions or work related to their places of worship. But their faith-activity online seems to augment their already-strong commitments to their congregations.

While it is now clear that many netizens use cyberspace to affirm their faith, it is less clear to what extent Americans are using the net to explore other religions.
