The study has investigated the missionarie's attitude towards the function of weblog and SMS, and also the amount of using them. The fields of sending SMS and also the aim of creating the weblog have been studied too. For this purpose, the concept of religious media has been used for the meaning of using media to achieve religious goals and ideals. These two media have been chosen for their ease of use, low cost, easy access to a large number of audiences and using them in propagating religious concepts.
The population is 220 Iranian and foreign missionaries, men and women, living in Qom, which are selected on random sampling. The questionnaire technique has been used in this paper and the data is processed by social science software. The results show that the missionaries have a positive attitude towards the function of weblog and SMS in propagating religious concepts. The survey shows that most missionaries create weblog with the purpose of disseminating religious ideas; then propagating it globally. Indeed, the gender did not influence on their attitude towards weblog and SMS. The evaluation of age shows that younger missionaries have more positive attitude towards the function of weblog and SMS. According to findings, there is no meaningful positive and negative difference among those having and not having weblog.
