BELIEVER IN THE INTERACTIVE INFORMATION SPACE: PRACTICES OF INFORMATION CONSUMPTION AND DIALOGUE WITH ATHEISTS

The article poses the problem of information consumption of believers in the Internet. The global world network, being a huge storehouse of information, contains a large amount of content that is offensive and unacceptable for a religious person. It cannot be said that it is collected in one or several places, on the contrary, this information is scattered chaotically in the most diverse parts of the Internet. Important question is raised before the believer: how to avoid negative content, which, in addition, may contain a threat of religious identity? Or, perhaps, it should not be avoided, but with producers and carriers of negative information, one should enter into a dialogue? Following problem clearly emerges, closely related to the first: how to construct a constructive dialogue between believers and representatives of other worldview systems, providing polemics, not squabbling? The article analyzes the reasons for the rootedness and wide spread of aggressive anti-religious discourse on the Internet. The hierarchical structure of anti-religious discourse is considered. The main strategies of informational behavior of believers in cyberspace, related to the possibility of collision with negative and offensive content are given. The peculiarities of the dialogue between believers and atheists connected with the organization of modern secular society are explored. The correlation of the concepts “believers-atheists” and “religious-secular” is given.
