摘要：AbstractThe aim of the present study is to investigate the role of Internet in the religious education. For this purpose religious education is considered as the process in which belief, commitment, and worship-related, social and moral behaviors of the learner are formed and developed in an explanatory, critical, and passionate procedure and through using the criteria of evaluating accuracy or inaccuracy of beliefs, commitments, and actions. The applied research methods are hermeneutic phenomenology with qualitative content analysis. Based on the findings of the study the ontological characteristics of virtual experience in relation to face to face experience are: Distantiation of virtual experience; Collapse of place and time borders in virtual experience; Development of virtual relationship; and Expansion of availability to Technological Information. Then the bottlenecks or horizons of the mentioned ontological characteristics in the development of the mentioned characteristics for religious education is analyzed. Internet, for example, has eliminated the limitations caused by place and time as well as the hierarchical authority of teacher in information transfer in the process of religious education; it has provided a more expanded and more liberated context for the exchange of religious ideas and beliefs through disseminating virtual relationships. On the other hand and since in the virtual education there is no complete bodily presence and sensational experience, the development of such aspects like internal motivation, belief, internal experience, internal commitment and action faces some shortcomings. Finally some practical implications for applying internet in religious education are offered.
