ABSTRACT

The chapter explores the information sources that young adults who identify as religious on several scales in the YARG data utilize to seek out information about religion. The chapter illustrates the enduring importance of traditional media such as books and printed volumes alongside new media. Although the young adults in China who took part in the study are avid social media users, social media use for religious purposes remains unusual among the more religiously active Chinese respondents. While this partly reflects the place and role of religion in Chinese society, it also reflects government restrictions of social media and its use. This chapter thus underlines the important ways in which the relationship between religion and social media may become strongly affected by the peculiarities of particular social, cultural, religious, and sociopolitical contexts.
