Describe the ways that globalization has lead to dispersal of religious practices.
a. Online religion refers to the use of the internet and digital platforms for religious activities and practices, such as virtual prayer groups and online religious services. Religion online, on the other hand, refers to the presence and representation of traditional religion in the online space, such as official websites of religious organiations and digital resources for religious education.

b. Online religion can encompass a wide range of spiritual practices and beliefs, including those that may not align with traditional religious institutions. Religion online, however, typically represents established and organied religions with a defined set of beliefs and practices.

c. Online religion may involve the use of social media and other interactive tools to engage with individuals and communities in a virtual religious context. Religion online may focus more on providing information and resources about a specific faith tradition or religious community.

d. Online religion may challenge traditional notions of religious authority and hierarchy, as individuals can seek out spiritual guidance and community outside of traditional religious institutions. Religion online, conversely, often reflects the hierarchical structure and leadership of established religious organiations.
