Kehadiran medium menggambarkan perilaku dan ekspresi religiusitas semakin kompleks. Semula bentuk religiusitas hanya ada dalam wujud formal melalui otoritas pemuka agama, kini realitas religius terdapat dalam ruang medium. Ekspresi religiusitas sebagai fenomena menunjukkan bagaimana suatu esensi ajaran agama diproyeksikan para penganut. Melalui medium, ekspresi tersebut diubah menjadi realitas imagologi melalui mekanisme penggunaan simbol, pilihan semblance (keserupaan) dengan pola semiotika. Imagologi semakin diproduksi, direpitisi sehingga peran otoritas keagamaan tergeser dan agama menjadi realitas baru yang dimaknai secara berbeda dari esensi agama itu sendiri. Imagologi religiusitas sebagai realitas diperoleh dalam medium seperti media masa, dan semua layar. Untuk meneliti imagologi, data realitas religius dalam beberapa medium nasional seperti Republika, Kompas, Jurnas, dan dua media regional seperti Suara Merdeka dan Nirmala Post dikelompokkan sesuai corak epistemenya. Termasuk medium layar seperti RCTI, TPI, ANTV, SCTV yang memuat penggambaran religiusitas diambil sebagai data realitas imagologi. Episteme tersebut ditelaah menggunakan beberapa pendekatan antara lain fenomenologi dan semiotika sampai penggunaan metode verstehen dan heuristik. Kajian ini juga menelisik unsur-unsur semiotika yang membentuk imagologi dan bagaimana tampakan fenomenologi keagamaan bergantung pada unsur-unsur tersebut. Sekaligus menjelaskan struktur epistemik imagologi beserta status ontologis yang berkaitan antara mekanisme realitas imagologi religius dengan terjadinya pengetahuan common sense. Penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya perubahan realitas keagamaan menjadi realitas imagologi, menampakan agama sesuai perlokusi produsen imagologi. Fenomena keagamaan ditunjukkan melalui mekanisme semblance (keserupaan) yang manipulatif. Otoritas dan formalisme agama tergradasi sebab imagologi menghadirkan realitas keagamaan yang berbeda.

The existence of medium describe the complexity of the religious behavior and religious expression. The religiousity, at the beginning, available on formally expression by authority of pious leader, and now, religiousity has active attend to the medium space. The religious expression become social phenomena and considering how the religion essence was projected by the followers. By medium, they projected the expression of religiousity, and transform that reality to imagology by symbols and the choice of semblance with semiotics patterns. More repititious and more production of imagology, implicated the replacement of the pious authority and expression of religion became new reality which is differents intepretation of the truly religion essence it self. The imagology religious, as reality, was found in the medium such mass media and digital medium. To find imagology, data reality of religious in national newspaper, for example, Republika, Kompas, Jurnas, also two regional newspaper, that is Suara Merdeka and Nirmala Post, was collected and codifying based on his epistemic pattern. Including religious describe as data of the imagology religious on the digital medium such as the television provider, RCTI, TPI, ANTV, SCTV. Verstehen and heuristic method, also semiotics perspective and phenomenology used to examine the epistemic data. This research explain the semiotics elements which construction the imagology, and explain why phenomenology of religion depend on thats elements compotition. Also, gave detail the ontology’s structure, the epistemic of imagology, and explain the relationship between mechanism of the reality imagology and common sense process. Its research shows the transformation of religious expression became imagology and displayed the religion up to producere of imagology perlocutions. Phenomenology of religion showed by the manipulate mechanism of semblance. There are gradation of formality and outhority religion, because imagology presented the religious reality’s differ.
