Abstract

In the digital age, there has been a significant shift in how societies understand, utilize, and interact with religious ideas. This study explores the role of religious literacy in promoting global resilience in response to increasingly complex global challenges. Religious literacy is defined as the capacity of individuals and communities to access, comprehend, and apply religious teachings through digital media, which has become an essential part of everyday life. By using a qualitative method, this research examines how digital technology influences the evolution of religious literacy and how this evolution enhances community resilience in the context of globalization. The paper emphasizes how digital platforms are reshaping religious practices, teachings, and authority, fostering greater interfaith dialogue, tolerance, and social cohesion. However, it also addresses the challenges of misinformation, the erosion of traditional religious authority, and fragmented interpretations of religious teachings. The study provides deeper insights into how digital-based religious literacy can be used to address numerous global concerns, build a more sustainable future, and highlight the relationship between religion, technology, and global resilience.
