Fenomena Belajar Agama Generasi Millenials: Studi Kasus Pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Sains Di Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Wilayah Sumatera Utara

The millennial Islamic generation is frequently associated with popular culture that has instantaneous characteristics and smells of technology. According to several studies, these characteristics are used in 'consuming' religious teachings, namely learning religion quickly, instantly, and without going through a diligent learning process, with teachers, or through a formal education process. The technological age is also used as a tool in religious education. The goal of this study is to describe how students of the Faculty of Science at Islamic Higher Education in Medan access religious information. This is due to the fact that nearly 90% of the students in the faculty have a general school education and then attend Islamic universities, where they study Islamic discourses. This study employs a qualitative research approach with descriptive analysis. As a result, religious access or, more precisely, religious references are obtained in an instant, namely through learning from WhatsApp, YouTube, and social media groups such as Facebook. This study concludes that digital literacy is required as a set of knowledge in order to be more critical, analytical, and evaluative in understanding existing religious information
