I'm looking for a papers concerning either Christianity or neopagan religions and social media. What role does social media play in the spread of these religious movements?
Any suggestions on the papers would be appreciated.

Some other relevant material:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/11/you-have-to-face-the-darkness-within-you-meet-the-real-life-jedi-knights
https://www.becometheforce.com/
https://www.templeofthejediorder.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jediism
It appears Jediism is largely an internet-sustained phenomenon.
