Abstract

This article aims to analyze the use of modern communication technologies by groups and/or individuals associated with religion and religiosity in Brazil today. This will be done by analyzing both the Mass Communication Media (MCM) and the emerging Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). Special attention will be given to the marketing aspects involved in these uses, since by taking into account this intervening factor, it decisively throws light upon this process to be analyzed. As a result, it is shown that these are two models of communication that have deep religious “elective affinities” with two current ways of religious living experiences: the institutionalized religion of “religious firms” and the autonomous religiosity favored by today’s individualism.
