In this episode of the “DisinfoHacks Podcast”, we dive into the complex relationship between religion and disinformation, exploring all the positive and negative effects that can be found in the crossroad of these two multi-facet issues. The conversation centers around subjects like the distortion of religious understanding due to the rise of fake news, the exploitation of religion by actors spreading disinformation for commercial and political gain, the spread of stereotypes, biases and religion-related hate aimed at specific religious groups and the contribution of social media platforms in fake news dissemination. In the final part of the episode, the way politics come into play is explored, looking into the influence of religion and religion-related disinformation to electoral cycles, as well as a more positive light is shed on the efforts to combat this type of disinformation spread by fact-checkers, private individuals, religious leaders and the society as a whole.
