Cyberspace capacity means utilizing the resources, tools, and facilities of cyberspace to develop and propagate religion through education. Today, the capacity of social networks, the Web, learning management systems, computer games, and other tools is used to disseminate religious teachings and propagate religions. The emergence of virtual churches, full-time answering of religious questions and, most importantly, spiritual life in cyberspace - only - is part of the interaction of religious scholars and users in this space. The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges facing capacity building in order to develop educational content in cyberspace and provide strategies for capacity building in this space in the field of education; Therefore, with the approach of qualitative online research and using the analysis of data available in cyberspace, this article first examines the challenges related to the capacity of teaching religious content in cyberspace and then presents strategies for optimal use of cyberspace capacities. The results of the study show that due to the high growth rate and development of cyberspace, the need to adopt constructive and infrastructural, defensive and content-oriented strategies is felt more than ever.
