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
