Research Introduction

A person can find religion everywhere, and since the 20th century religion within the virtual world has become very popular. Religion is well defined in Secondlife and many avatars across the world teleport into churches, synagogues, or morgues on a regular basis to practice what is being taught. With so many religions surfacing in SecondLife it is hard to keep track of everyone of them. Religion in Secondlife is convenient, amd avatars can log on at any time of the day and practice their beliefs. Some may think or believe that just because religion is practiced in a virtual world with animated characters, that it is not real or does not exist. Although there are some selfish people in Secondlife who take advantage of religious rituals, in Secondlife they are highly out numberedby the ones who take religion seriously. There are real pastors who offer praise, support, and counseling to members of their groups.The best thing about attending a religious service in Secondlife is that avatars have the ability to kneel in a prayer position to pray. Now how real is that? Although there are different types of religions in Secondlife, What are they? and What are some examples of religion in Secondlife? and How are they practiced?
