Religion in the Media

Religion is one of the top controversial topics in today's society. It forces people to see religion from various perspectives. For some people, religion has become a lifestyle, for other people religion has been used as a weapon to harm people. Therefore, the importance of religion gradually disappeared. Media plays an important role in our lives by expressing religion mainly mainly in a negative way. It rarely explains religion positively. The media explains that religion is a poison who intensifies people from within.

Religion is also a major cultural feature, Uyghur religion and mass media culture are substantially identical. It is impossible to define a clear mass media religion, but still we can compete with Uighur religion, Islam. "Religion" of mass media is based on the solar calendar. However, the Islamic calendar is the moon. Furthermore, in the mass communication "religion", the biggest holiday season is December. It is a desired season. When a large company issues ridiculous money from Christmas shopping. Then there is a real big holiday. A feast will be held in front of the Christmas tree or candlestick on 25th December. But during Uyghur's main festival, Ramadan, it is not a feast; this is the time of fasting. It is not a gift now, but it is quiet time for reflection and prayer.

The practice of religion and the use of social media include rituals, traditions and customs. Religion has a wedding, Christmas / Ramadan and prayers. Social media has a ceremony to update the status of your relationship, the wall of "Happy Birthday" behind the tradition of volleyball. Religious and social media platforms have the power to influence billions of people. Religious influences have been used to maintain conflicts, peace and promote culture. The influence of social media seems to be the zombie effect of people using it. Our "news feed" is full of fancy videos, product recognition, and panic news articles.
