| Abstract: | The evolving technology of cyberspace, prefigured at present by the Internet, will have an impact on religion both as a social institution and the spiritual life of the individual. The decentralized contact and conflict among followers of different religions that " the Net" encourages may represent an end run around institutionalized religious leadership, although those same hierarchies may reassert themselves on line if the Net evolves in directions primarily favouring content providers with substantial financial and organizational resources. |
