RELIGIOUS STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY IN THE MODERN ERA
Abstract
Religion has existed since the beginning of human life on Earth, remaining eternal and integral to humanity. Over tume, religion intersects with technological advancements, forming a dynamic relationship between these two aspects of life. Technology, as a product of human progress, continues to innovate and transform human life, ushering humanity into the modern era. This rapid technological development raises questions about the role of religion in an increasingly modern world. Rather than being a barrier, religion acts as a guide, ensuring that humans do not lose their moral compass while thinking and acting with their minds. This study explores the relationship between religion and technological advancements, using descriptive analysis through literature review. The findings reveal that religion is not an obstacle to technological progress. Instead, it provides a framework for ethical thinking and behavior, affirming that its role in human life remains irreplaceable, even in the modern era.
