In total six textbooks are included in the study where of three are traditional and three are digital.The study shows that the textbooks are presenting new religious movements and secular world view from a historical and a character based perspective in most cases, the digital being less so. It has also shown that the digital textbooks don’t include new religious movements and that the traditional textbooks might be non-religious concerning secular life views and not at all concerning the new religious movements.
