Is social media curing us from religious beliefs?
YES! ABSOLUTELY!
Religious beliefs thrive when they are sequestered and unquestioned. Living in a small homogeneous community works best. Religions can claim anything they like, such as “you get your morality from religion.”

What happens when you look around and see other people who believe something different than you, and are also living good lives.

You might think about why they believe that, & why you believe what you do.

Social media is communication on a massive scale, and interaction between individuals and a large group or groups of individuals, social media might expose us to more, different ways of thinking, different philosophies,...
and connect us with people from different socio-economic and socio-cultural situations. This new connectedness may have an ‘educating’, ‘enlightening’ effect on more and more people.
