REFLECTIONS ON MEDIA RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE

Abstract

This article aims to present how the messages of the media religion generates violence for the faithful viewer. In this way, the question is: what does the human being look for in religious media messages, especially in the early hours? What is the structural background of these religious leaders? What causes the media religion to introduce religious violence? This production, of a qualitative nature and theoretical approach, seeks, at first, to clarify that the categories, which are sought by people through rites and beliefs, can also show the way that transforms them into violence. Following, fundamentalism and religious media violence and the niche found by electronic preachers are presented. In the light of Durkheim (1989) and Heiddeger (1989); Ferreira (2012) and D’adesky (2001), this study reflects on how and what can perpetuate the inauthentic posture of the human being within the very attempt to practice their faith. Another point to be considered is the non-contact with the preachers of the media, as well as the aspects related to the formation of these religious leaders, since, in many cases, there is a lack of anthropological and philosophical training through which they would find bases to respect the human being. in its condition of existence and constitution of collective consciousness. Therefore, the lack of these elements makes religious violence possible.
