Abstract
The rise of cyber social networking in religious communities hasn't gone unchallenged. It seems that the internet and its social networks, apart from their providing opportunities, are structurally different from the physical world in that they have made religious and pious life undergo serious challenges. This necessitates a more cautious approach on the part of users to stay moral when dealing with this new situation.
This paper has used the dual-environment paradigm with its subsequent virtual environment injuries based on the qualitative research method tradition combining three methods, namely deep online interviews, focus group interviews and cooperative and non-cooperative observation, and tries to explore the differences between dimensions of virtuousness in cyber space and real environment.
In the end, eleven structural factors of impiety in these networks have been presented. Also solutions are suggested for users, their families and officials, in a table.
