In terms of our religion discussion a few weeks ago I still find our group conversation so odd. I have never had my religion so openly discussed in an academic setting that I still find it so weird. But! I think our think our discussion didn't cover a lot of things because we only had one class period.
When I think of religion in social media I think of the effects of the Isis behavior has on social media. Isis is an extreme Islamic Muslim group and it makes Muslims look really bad. I personally fear for the wrath that the majority (non-extremist) Muslims may get on social media and in face to face interactions.
For example when American Sniper came out, I saw multiple tweets like this:
I haven't seen the movie so I have no room to judge these people, but hostility like this worries me. Especially when 3 Muslim college students were shot and killed at a university in North Carolina.
