Summary/Abstract: Mediatisation of religions responds to a human and social need. Theses research notes aims to present a set of working hypothesis on the power of religions on media as taking a part in education, politics and economy. We may believe that this position is extreme, but today any information passing by digital mediatisation is used as a power of communication. We think that the power of education is able to create a new world full of peace, although economic and social powers are ruling the world and have become a huge weight on everyone’s shoulders. Mediatisation of religions have an impact on changing values in education and society. Media may influence positively or negatively. Violence and electronic games are changing the habits of young generations as well as social media and religious videos are having an impact on wars and extremism. This kind of mediatisation is used as a means to contribute in amplifying the impact of this phenomenon often furthered by more and more curiosity of people stimulated by social media and its habits.
