La consubstantialité les médias sociaux dans la vie sociale aujourd’hui n’épargne les manifestations religieuses au Bénin. Dans la ville de Porto Novo, ils sont mobilisés comme canal de facilitation pour l’atteinte des idéaux types religieux. Mais leurs usages mettent en exergue bien des menaces et opportunités. La présente recherche vise à analyser l’influence des médias sociaux sur le croire religieux dans la ville de Porto-Novo.Dans le cadre de cette recherche qualitative, des données sont collectées auprès de 50 personnes ressources par le biais de l’entretien et l’observation à travers les techniques d’échantillonnage à choix raisonné et par boule de neige.Il apparait une certaine consubstantialité des médias sociaux à travers les pratiques religieuses. De même, ils participent à la fois à la mutation et à la démocratisation du « croire religieux». Face à cette influence, bien des stratégies d’adaptation sont développées en fonction de la perception sociale des acteurs.
