Abstract
Religious use of the Internet can be traced back to the early 1980s. In the last 5 years of 19905, Christians of mainland China are concerned with online religious discussion which surfaced on the BBSs of Chinese web sites, and become cyber Christians. Up to the iirst decade of the 21st century, increasing numbers of religious media web sites, religious groups and mailing lists began to emerge onlineā Especially for the Cyber Christians in mainland China, the medium such as the Christian QQ-group ( or blogs, social networks such as Facebook , podcasts such as Youku , database such as chinacath. org, and any other technology such as visual projection) has the religious message, but the religious media owned by Chinese authority is quite slow and weak in this aspect. People who are from diverse backgrounds could meet in ways that transcended the physical and social limitations of their daily lives.
