Summary/Abstract: The man of today is the subject of rethinking the social, cultural sphere under the technological development, of the digitalized era in which we live. Nowadays realities (social, cultural, religious ones) are interconnected through the new techniques of communication. This fact represents evidence in the progress of humanity towards new horizons of facilitating the specific registers of a cultural-religious identity in a general plan of visibility. The isolation is impossible in the global society, and exclusiveness is, in a similar way, a negative way of being present in this society. Because of these reasons, the present study proposes to be an analysis of the dynamics that implies three elements: culture, media and religion. In what kind of relationship do they stand with each other? What are the consequences and the challenges of this interrelation?
