In the online world, people argue about anything and everything -
religion is no exception. Stephen Pihlaja investigates how several
prominent social media figures present views about religion in an
environment where their positions are challenged. The analysis
shows how conflict creates a space for users to share, explain, and
develop their opinions and beliefs, by making appeals to both a
core audience of like-minded viewers and a broader audience of
viewers who are potentially interested in the claims, ambivalent,
or openly hostile. The book argues that in the back-and-forth of
these arguments, the positions that users take in response to the
arguments of others have consequences for how religious talk
develops, and potentially for how people understand and practice
their beliefs in the twenty-first century. Based on original
empirical research, it addresses long-debated questions in
sociolinguistics and discourse analysis regarding the role of
language in building solidarity, defining identity and establishing
genres and registers of interaction.
